Which description applies to the particle arrangement in a gas?

In a gas, particles are widely spaced apart and move freely, unlike in solids or liquids where particles are closely packed together. This arrangement allows gas particles to fill the entire volume of their container. The lack of significant attractive forces between gas particles means that they do not hold a fixed position, allowing them to travel independently of one another. This characteristic leads to the high compressibility of gases and is a fundamental aspect of their behavior in different conditions. The far distance between particles and the negligible attractive forces explain the ability of gases to expand and occupy available space.
