Solution
The correct comparison of the particles in solids, liquids, and gases is B. This is because:
- Gases: The particles are not arranged in a fixed pattern. They are free to move around and fill up any available space.
- Liquids: The particles are also not arranged in a fixed pattern. However, they are closer together than gases and can move around to some extent.
- Solids: The particles are arranged in a fixed pattern. They are closely packed together and can only vibrate about their fixed position.
