Question

Which of the following statements will describe a gas,

  1. Particles are attracted to each other.
  2. Particles are not attracted to each other. 
  3. The particles of a gas are very far than the particles in a liquid or solid.
  4. Both B and C

hintHint:

The gaseous phase also consists of particles called atoms that are arranged differently than the rest two phases.

The correct answer is: The particles of a gas are very far than the particles in a liquid or solid.


    • The statement that correctly defines the property of a gas is that the particles of a gas are very far than the particles in a liquid or solid.
    • Just like all matter, gas is also composed of various particles called atoms. These atoms are held to each other by the help of intermolecular forces of attraction. 
    • The property that differentiates the gas from other states of matter is the strength of these forces of attraction and the intermolecular spaces. In the gaseous phase, the particles have large spaces between them due to the least strong force of attraction. Thus, their particles are very far apart as compared to solids and liquids. 

    Gas particles are free to move because of less force acting on them.
