(i will give brainliest) The following image shows what happens when the particles in a certain state occupy a space. What is the state of the substance that is occupying the space and how do you know?

A. The substance is a gas because the particles are spreading out to fill the space of the container.

B. The substance is a liquid because the particles inside are taking the shape of the container.

C. The substance is a mixture of a gas and a liquid because the particles are filling the space of the container.

D. The substance is a solid because the particles inside the box have a definite shape.

A

Explanation:

The substance is a gas because the particles far randomly arranged and far apart from each other. This happens because when a substance is a gas, particles have weak attraction to each but a lot more kinetic energy which means the they move around all the time spreading out to fill the container. If it was a solid, then all the particles would be very close together and have a fixed position and if it was a liquid then the particles would be fairly close and moving around each other but as we can see in the diagram, all the particles are far apart confirming that it is a gas.
