Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: Whether the particles of gas are farther apart or closer together as compared to particles in a liquid need to be explained on the basis of the given observation.
Concept Introduction:
There are three states of any substance, that is solid, liquid and gas. Solids are rigid with fixed shapes and sizes. The particles of a substance in a solid state are close to each other and are arranged in an orderly manner. Due to this, the space between the particles is less and they are close to each other. When compared with liquids, particles in a solid state are closer to each other. Particles in the gas state have the largest distance between them and they are far apart.
(b)
