Which of the following properties refers to a gas?

Question

a) has a fixed arrangement of particles
b) has a definite shape
c) has large distances between particles
d) has definite volume
e) is a good conductor of heat and electricity

Answer 1

the answer is c.

Gas is one of the four major states of matter, consisting of freely moving atoms or molecules without a definite shape and without a definite volume. Compared to the solid and liquid states of matter a gas has lower density and a lower viscosity. The volume of a gas will change with changes in temperature or pressure, as described by the ideal gas law. A gas also has the characteristic that it will diffuse readily, spreading apart in order to uniformly fill the space of any container.

A solid object is in the states of matter characterized by resistance to deformation and changes of volume. At the microscopic scale, a solid has these properties :

The atoms or molecules that comprise the solid are packed closely together.
These constituent elements have fixed positions in space relative to each other. This accounts for the solid's rigidity. In mineralogy and crystallography, a crystal structure is a unique arrangement of atoms in a crystal. A crystal structure is composed of a unit cell, a set of atoms arranged in a particular way; which is periodically repeated in three dimensions on a lattice. The spacing between unit cells in various directions is called its lattice parameters. The symmetry properties of the crystal are embodied in its space group. A crystal's structure and symmetry play a role in determining many of its properties, such as cleavage, electronic band structure, and optical properties.
If sufficient force is applied, either of these properties can be disrupted, causing permanent deformation.
Because any solid has some thermal energy, its atoms vibrate. However, this movement is very small, and cannot be observed or felt under ordinary conditions.

thus, (a), (b) and (d) are solids, and (e) is liquids/gases (here (c) is a more ideal answer for gas property).

hope this helps :-)
