What phase of matter does picture A represent?

States of Matter diagram.

Three diagrams (labeled A, B, and C) illustrate the arrangement of particles in different states of matter.

* **Diagram A:** Shows particles (represented by circles) scattered randomly, with little to no organization or structure. This represents a gas.

* **Diagram B:** Particles are arranged in a regular, fixed pattern resembling a crystal lattice. This represents a solid.

* **Diagram C:** Particles are close together, but not arranged in a rigid, ordered structure like in a solid.  There is some degree of interaction and proximity, but not the complete order of the solid in diagram B. This suggests a liquid.
