Answer:

B: Gases dont have fixed shape, solids do

Step-by-step explanation:

A is false because gases and solids can be both made up of atoms and also molecules

B is true because gases do not have definite shape or volume, while solids have definite shape and volume

C is false because particles of a gas are farther apart under similar pressure, volume and temperature as particles of a solid

D is false because gases have more energy than solid particles under similar pressure, volume and temperature due to their movement they are constantly transfering energy from one particle to another as they move
