How does the arrangement of particles differ in a liquid compared to a gas?

• Particles in a liquid are closely packed but can still move past each other, while particles in a gas are far apart and move freely.

• Particles in a liquid are stationary, while particles in a gas are closely packed and stationary.

• Particles in a liquid are far apart and stationary, while particles in a gas are closely packed and move freely.
