Gas – In a gas, particles are in continual straight-line motion. The kinetic energy of the molecule is greater than the attractive force between them, thus they are much farther apart and move freely of each other. In most cases, there are essentially no attractive forces between particles.
Hydrocarbons are a type of organic compound. Hydrocarbons contains a carbon, hydrogen and oxygen bond that makes it
organic. Chlorides, carbonates and nitrous oxides are not organic compounds but
they are inorganic compounds.
