Question Detail
Question
Which state of matter has particles that are widely spaced, move randomly at high speed, and have negligible forces of attraction?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Gases have particles that are widely spaced and scattered, undergo random and rapid motion, and have negligible forces of attraction between them. These characteristics explain the compressibility, expansibility, and low density of gases.
Hint
Gas particles are far apart and move freely.
