Question

which state of matter has the greatest distance between the individual particles?
a a
b b
c c
d all are the same

Explanation:

In solids (like ice), particles are closely packed. In liquids (like water), particles are closer together than in gases but can move past each other. In gases (like steam), particles are far - apart and move freely. So, gas has the greatest distance between individual particles.

Answer:

The state of matter with the greatest distance between individual particles is steam (a gas), but since options are not given in full: assuming steam is one of the options, the answer would be the option representing steam. If we had to choose from the given format without knowing the content of A, B, C, we can't precisely pick an identifier, but conceptually the answer is the gas state among the choices.
