Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. In gases, the constituent particles are far apart and the intermolecular force of attraction is less when compared to liquids and solids.
  2. Gases occupy the shape and volume of the container in which they are placed.
  3. Gases do not have a fixed shape and definite volume as the gas molecules are always in random motion.

Hence, the given statement is false.
