Solution

The statement that best describes a gas and its particles is: "A gas assumes the shape and volume of its container; gas particles can move freely." This is because gases are not confined to a specific shape or volume, unlike solids and liquids. The particles in a gas are spread out and move around freely, filling the entire volume of their container.
