Explanation:
A molecule is a substance that contains atoms of either different or same elements.
For example, [tex]Cl_{2}[/tex] molecule and NaCl is also a molecule.
On the other hand, a compound always consists atoms of different elements. For example, NaCl is also a compound but [tex]Cl_{2}[/tex] is not a compound.
Whereas it is known that gases exist as diatomic molecules. For example, [tex]Cl_{2}[/tex], [tex]N_{2}[/tex], [tex]Br_{2}[/tex] are all gases.
Therefore, we can conclude that the particles of a gas are molecules.
Answer: The particles of a gas are ATOMS OR MOLECULES.
