What happens to the distance between the particles when a liquid turns to gas?

Gas molecules take more room (volume) only (less than) 10% of the total, the rest space being empty!
Or...
Gas particles spread and the volume of them increases compared to the closer packed particles of a liquid. The number of particles stays the same but the force between then weakens because of the energy that they hold, these molecules spread.
This is because they have more kinetic energy than when they are a liquid, this is because evaporation ocours when heat energy is transferred to the molecules and then this results in the energy becoming kinetic* and causing the particles to escape from where they are into the air, spreading with there energy stores (energy that they hold).
* When the energy becomes kinetic, it basically causes the particles to vibrate as a transfer of the heat energy to them. Kinetic means movement and the (movement) energy makes the molecules bounce of one and other transferring the energy rapidly.
So this basically puts forward to why the particles manage to jump out of their container, as, if the energy is transerred to a particle in quite a big amount it will manage to escape. Thus once this happens on a larger scaleb(with more partcles), evaporation is happening!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________It seems to me that the other answer above was a little brief... (and i'm not sure what the 10% thing means at all) Please edit this because i am not a rocket scientist and just tried to explain the theory as easily and clearly as possible.
Please note that if you read it all then you will understand the concept in more detail, rather than copying down the first sentence for your physics homework!

When matter is transformed from the liquid state to the gas state the distance between the particles and the attractive forces between the particles A increases decrease or are abse?
It is a decrease.
What happens when you give heat energy to a solid and liquid?
When heat energy is given to a solid, the particles gain kinetic energy and begin to vibrate faster, eventually reaching a point where the solid melts into a liquid. In a liquid, the heat energy causes the particles to move more freely and increases the distance between them, leading to the liquid eventually boiling and turning into a gas.
What happens to the particles of matter when a liquid changes to a gas-?
The particles are no longer fixed by the forces keeping it a liquid
What happens to the particles when a liquid becomes a soild?
The particles vibrate more until the particles break away and become more spread out. This is when they become a liquid.
What happens to the particles of a liquid that is cooled until it freezes?

What happens to the distance between particles of a substance as it changes from a liquid to a gas?
The distance between particles increases as a substance changes from a liquid to a gas. In the gas phase, particles are spread far apart and move freely, leading to higher distances between them compared to the closer arrangement in the liquid phase.
How is a solid different from a liquid or gas?
the distance between the particles and the average kinetic movement of the particles.
When matter is transformed from the liquid state to the gas state the distance between the particles and the attractive forces between the particles A increases decrease or are abse?
It is a decrease.
What is the particle spacing in evaporation?
The particle spacing in evaporation refers to the distance between individual particles of a liquid as it transitions to a gaseous state. As the liquid evaporates, the spacing between particles increases, leading to the conversion of the liquid into vapor.
What happens to particles of a liquid as the liquid boils?
the particles are given more energy.
Does steam or water have the greatest distance between particles?
Steam has a greater distance between particles compared to water because steam is in a gaseous state where the particles have more space between them and move more freely. Water, on the other hand, is a liquid with particles that are more closely packed together.
What factor usually determines whether a substance is a solid liquid gas or plasma?
The distance between particles
How will you show that by applying pressure particles of matter can be brought close together?
By applying pressure, the distance between the particles of matter will decrease because pressure compresses the particles, reducing the space between them. This reduction in distance shows that particles can be brought closer together through the application of pressure.
When particles in a liquid are cooled what happens?
When particles in a liquid are cooled, they lose energy and move more slowly. Eventually, the particles will slow down enough to form a solid as the attractive forces between them overcome their kinetic energy.
What happens to the particles of a liquid?
it depends on wether you are freezing the liquid, or melting the liquid.
What happens to the particles of matter when a liquid changes to a gas-?
The particles are no longer fixed by the forces keeping it a liquid
What happens to liquid to solid?
particles harden
