When the volume of a container is increased at a constant temperature, the correct observation regarding the behavior of gas particles is:
**The particles spread out.**
In an expanded volume, the gas particles have more space to move around, which leads to a decrease in the frequency of collisions between the particles. The overall speed of the particles does not change significantly because the temperature remains constant, meaning the average kinetic energy of the gas particles stays the same.
