</div>
```

```html{1}
<div class="grid grid-cols-2 gap-16 place-content-start ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
```

```html{1}
<div class="grid grid-cols-2 gap-16 place-content-end ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
```

### Space between

Use `place-content-between` to distribute grid items along the block axis so that there is an equal amount of space between each row on the block axis.

```html{1}
<div class="grid grid-cols-2 place-content-between ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
```

### Space around

Use `place-content-around` distribute grid items such that there is an equal amount of space around each row on the block axis.

```html{1}
<div class="grid grid-cols-2 place-content-around ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>

<div class="grid grid-cols-2 place-content-evenly ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
```

Use `place-content-stretch` to stretch grid items along their grid areas on the block axis.

```html{1}
<div class="grid grid-cols-2 place-content-stretch ...">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
```

## Applying conditionally

### Breakpoints and media queries

You can also use variant modifiers to target media queries like responsive breakpoints, dark mode, prefers-reduced-motion, and more.
For example, use `md:place-content-center` to apply the `place-content-center` utility at only medium screen sizes and above.

```html
<div class="grid place-content-start md:place-content-center">
  <!-- ... -->
</div>
```
