Final answer:

The correct properties of a gas include that gas takes the space of its container, its molecules have a high amount of energy, and they collide with one another.

Step-by-step explanation:

The properties of a gas include molecules that are in constant motion, colliding with one another and the walls of their container without a net loss of energy. These collisions are defined as elastic. Furthermore, gas molecules are far apart from each other, occupying the entire space of their container, allowing the gas to assume the shape and volume of the container. Gases have low density and can easily mix with other gases due to this constant motion and the negligible interaction forces among the particles. Based on these details, the correct properties of a gas from the options provided are:

  • C. takes the space of its container
  • D. molecules have lots of energy
  • E. molecules collide with one another
