No, they are spread out. Gases are less dense than solids and liquids, which is caused by the particles being spread out.

Are solid particles packed close toghether?
I think that what you mean to ask is, are the particles in a solid packed close together, which they are, particularly in comparison to a gas, in which the particles are rather distant from each other. However, you can pack solid particles in various ways, closely or distantly. The solidity of the particle does not dictate the type of packing.
Are particles that are close together in gas liquid or solid?
Particle spacing is the closest together in solids. In liquids the spacing is close, however the particles have the freedom of movement. In gas, the particles have lots of kinetic energy, therefore they are far apart.
Are the particles of a gas held together by strong attractive forces?
The molecules of a gas have mass, so there's naturally the force of gravitational attraction between them. But that force is so small that it's entirely negligible in describing the behavior of a gas, and the answer to your question is "virtually no".
What happens to the motion of particles in a solid and liquid and gas?
In a solid the particles are packed tightly together in a more raged formation . in a liquid the particles move passing each other in a gas the particles move freely in the space they have
When the potential energy of a material changes what happens to the materials what of matter changes?
In a solid the particles are close together and in fixed positions In a liquid the particles are still really close together but can move around past each other In a gas the particles are free to move and far apart During a state change the particles in the substance will change from being in one of the above to another
Are particles in a balloon packed close together?
no, the air inside balloons is a gas and therefore the particles are moving quickly and are spread out, bouncing off the sides of the balloon. Particles in solids are packed close together.
What is the definition for Packing of Particles?
How close together the molecules (particles) are in a substance/material. Solids are closely packed, liquids are loosely packed, and gas are very loose, freely moving molecules.
Why can you not compress a liquid?
The particles in a liquid are close together. In a solid the particles are tightly packed together so you cannot compress them at all. The particles in a gas are far apart, so when they are compressed the volume of the gas reduces. The bonds in a liquid are not as close as those in a solid but they are still too close for compression.
The particles of a solid are packed closely together and don't have as much movement as the particles of a gas or liquid?
FalseThe particles of a solid are packed closely together and don'thave as much movement as the particles of a gas or liquid.True
Are the particles of gas are packed tightly together?
No, they are not packed tightly together. The particles in solids are. In gas, they move in random motion and are the furthest apart, compared to solids and liquids. Hope this helps :)

Can you compress a gas because its particles are close together?
No. You can compress a gas because the particles are NOT close together. If they are close together (as in a solid) it is extremely difficult to compress any further.
Are particles of a gas close together?
No they are the furtherst away out of solids, liquids and gases.

Are the particles of a solid packed closely together and don't have as much movement as the particles of a gas liquid?
yes
What particles have more energy solid or gas?
Gas because the particles are not packed as tight and closely together as the particles of a solid therefore they move around more.
Are the particles of a gas packed closely together so that they don't have as much movement as the particles of a solid or liquid?
In a gas, the particles are much less densely packed than the particles of a solid or liquid, and consequently they move much more freely.
