Which statement best describes a characteristic of gases? a.)gases can be compressed, or squeezed together. b.)the particles of gases are packed close together. c.) the particles of gases spread our vertically instead of horizontally. d.)gases have a definite shape and volume.

The correct answer is A. Gases can be compressed, or squeezed together.

Explanation:

In physics, gases represent one of the four states of matter along with liquids, solids, and plasma. Gases different to solids and liquids are characterized by the lack of undefined shape and volume as the particles in them move around freely, which also makes gases able to spread and move in any direction, because of this gases can be compressed as there is space between their particles. Considering this, the only statement that is correct about gases and that describe them is "Gases can be compressed, or squeezed together" because the space between particles in gases can be reduced.

the answer would most likely be c, because if it's a comical piece of information, it may likely not be true, if it's a site that allows anybody to edit the content, it could mean a five year old is typing the info, and if it's a tv show produced by a celeb, it may have a biased opinion.
