Dante Morgan · Answer 1

True

Explanation:

The gaseous state is characterized in that the cohesion forces are usually null, in which the particles have their maximum mobility. The particles tend to occupy all the available volume, so their shape and volume are variable. The gaseous state is a dispersed state of matter, which means that the molecules are separated by distances much larger than the diameter of the gas molecules.
