Answer:

Liquid

Step-by-step explanation:

We have three states of matter. Solid, liquid and gaseous.

  • In the solid state the particles are very tightly packed and there is almost no motion of the particles.



  • In the gaseous state the particles are very far apart, the approximate average distance between particles, under normal conditions, is ten times the particle size.



  • The liquid state is an intermediate between these two states, so it would best describe a substance with loosely packed particles.
