Texas Cosmetology License Practice Exam

A gas state of matter is characterized by having no definite shape or volume. This means that gas particles are free to move in any direction and fill any container that they are in, as they do not have any attraction to each other. This is what sets gases apart from solids and liquids, where particles have a definite shape and volume due to strong intermolecular forces. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect as they mention either a definite shape or volume, which are not characteristics of a gas state.
