Please help!

Look at the diagram provided. Based on the spacing between the particles and the movement of the particles, does the image circled in red represent a solid, liquid, or gas? Explain your reasoning.​

The example circled in red represents gas. Based on the information I know, gas particles move around freely. More than the second example, which represents liquids and more than the first example too, which represents solids. In short, the particles are not as close to eachother as the other two examples are. That means the example circled represents gas.

sorry if there are grammar mistakes, hope this helps regardless
