Question

which state of matter is best described as having no definite volume or shape with particles that are separated by a distance much larger than their size.
solid
liquid
gas

Explanation:

To determine the state of matter with no definite volume or shape and particles separated by a large distance, we analyze each option:

• Solids have a definite shape and volume, with closely packed particles.
• Liquids have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, with particles closer than in gases.
• Gases have particles that are far apart (distance much larger than particle size), no definite shape or volume, and fill their container.

Answer:

C. Gas
