In what state of matter is the compound classified?

The compound in question is classified as a gas, which is characterized by its ability to expand to fill its container, significantly lower density compared to solids and liquids, and also the absence of a definite shape and volume. In its gaseous state, the particles are far apart and move freely, allowing for high compressibility and the ability to diffuse quickly.

Understanding this state is crucial in industrial refrigeration as gases play a significant role in the refrigeration cycle, where they undergo phase changes between the gaseous and liquid states to absorb and release heat effectively. Recognizing this property helps operators efficiently manage and control refrigeration systems.
