Gases can change volume because they take up the whole space of the container, room, etc. that they are contained in.

Gases can change volume because their particles are not held together tightly like in solids or liquids. The particles in a gas are free to move around and spread out to fill the available space, so when the pressure or temperature changes, the volume of the gas can adjust accordingly.
