Answer:

Gases are easily compressed. We can see evidence of this in Table 1 in Thermal Expansion of Solids and Liquids, where you will note that gases have the largest coefficients of volume expansion. The large coefficients mean that gases expand and contract very rapidly with temperature changes. In addition, you will note that most gases expand at the same rate, or have the same β. This raises the question as to why gases should all act in nearly the same way, when liquids and solids have widely varying expansion rates.

The answer lies in the large separation of atoms and molecules in gases, compared to their sizes, as illustrated in Figure 2. Because atoms and molecules have large separations, forces between them can be ignored, except when they collide with each other during collisions. The motion of atoms and molecules (at temperatures well above the boiling temperature) is fast, such that the gas occupies all of the accessible volume and the expansion of gases is rapid. In contrast, in liquids and solids, atoms and molecules are closer together and are quite sensitive to the forces between them.

What phase of matter has enough kinetic energy to partially overcome the intermolecular attraction between the particles, allowi
cluponka [151]

The answer is; liquid phase

The characteristics described in the question are those of a liquid. The forces between liquid particles are weaker than the forces between solid particles because the particles are further apart. The particles are not held in a  fixed position in the structure hence it can flow and take the shape of the container in which it is in.

What molality of a nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte solute is needed to raise the boiling point of water by 7.10°c (kb = 0.520°c/m)?
faltersainse [42]
According to boiling point elevation equation:
Δ T = i Kb m
when ΔT (change in boiling point) = 7.10 C° 
and i (van't Hoff factor)= 1
and Kb = 0.520
so, by substitution:
7.10 = 1*0.520 *m
m = 7.1 / 0.52 = 13.65 m
