Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecules of a gas are farther apart unlike liquids and solids. Since they are free to move, they have a higher average kinetic energy than liquids and solids. Solids and liquids have stronger intermolecular forces because they are tightly packed. Thus, the correct options are

A. The particles are not in a fixed location.

C. They have very weak intermolecular forces between the atoms or molecules.
