Question

Say whether it describes a solid, a liquid or a gas.

Particles are far apart and move in all directions.

Answer 1

Gas:

• The gas molecules are far apart from each other.
• This is due to the least intermolecular force of attraction or large intermolecular space present between them.
• The gas molecules have a greater amount of freedom and move randomly in all directions
• Thus gases have neither definite shape nor definite volume.

Concluding statement: As the gas, molecules are apart from each other due to the least intermolecular force of attraction or large intermolecular space. Due to this they have a greater amount of freedom and move in all directions. Therefore, the given statement describes a gas.
