States of Matter

The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).

Chemical Reactions and Equations

When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.

Question

Which one of the following statements describes the gaseous state of matter?
O a. The atoms or molecules do not have enough energy to move about and are in constant contact with each other.
Neither the volume nor the shape of the matter can change.
O b. The atoms or molecules do not have enough energy to move about but only contact each other when they randomly
collide. The volume can change but the shape cannot.
O c. The atoms or molecules are constantly in contact with each other and have enough energy to move about. The volume
remains constant but the shape can change.
Od. The atoms or molecules have enough energy to be constantly in motion but they are in constant contact with each
other. The volume can change but the shape cannot.
O e. The atoms or molecules have enough energy to be in constant motion and only contact each other when they
randomly collide. Both the volume and shape can change.
