what property of gases confirms that the space between the particles of gas is significantly larger than when the same substance is in a liquid state?
a) reactivity
b) compressibility
c) mobility
d) volatility

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Reactivity refers to how a substance reacts with others, not related to particle space.
• Option B: Compressibility is the ability to be compressed. Gases are highly compressible (due to large particle spaces) while liquids are not, which confirms larger particle spaces in gases.
• Option C: Mobility is about particle movement, not space between them.
• Option D: Volatility is about tendency to vaporize, not particle space.

Answer:

B) Compressibility
