The gaseous state is characterized in that the cohesion forces are usually null, in which the particles have their maximum mobility. The particles tend to occupy all the available volume, so their shape and volume are variable. The gaseous state is a dispersed state of matter, which means that the molecules are separated by distances much larger than the diameter of the gas molecules.
acids are corrosive since they tend to destroy every single thing they do get a big example is the acidic rain which tends to corrode iron sheet thus making them to appear worn out and full of rust
