Detailed explanation-1: -The gaseous state has the highest compressibility as compared to solids and liquids. The rate is diffusion is higher than solids and liquids. The kinetic energy of particles is higher than in solids and liquids. An example of gases: air, helium, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, etc.

Detailed explanation-2: -In addition to solids and liquids, gases are also a physical state in which matter can occur. All gases have weight. Unlike solids and liquids, gases will occupy the entire container that encloses them.

Detailed explanation-3: -A gas is a substance that is in a gaseous, or vaporous, state of matter. The term gas is also used in reference to the state itself when applied to matter that has the properties of a gaseous substance. Gas is one of four natural states of matter, along with liquid, solid and plasma. A gas has no fixed shape or volume.

Detailed explanation-4: -In physics, a state of matter is one of the distinct forms in which matter can exist. Four states of matter are observable in everyday life: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Detailed explanation-5: -Matter typically exists in one of three states: solid, liquid, or gas. There is a fourth state of matter called plasma, which rarely exists on earth, but we will omit this from our current discussion. The state a given substance exhibits is also a physical property.
