Answer
A crystal of iodine is heated in a closed flat bottom flask. The crystal containing 'X' no. of particles turns into vapours, which also contain 'X' no. of particles and fills the complete flask.
Hence, we can conclude that particles of solid are more closely packed, whereas, particles of gas are least closely packed and fill the flask completely.
