States of Matter

All of the following are properties of liquids EXCEPT

• Fluidity

• Viscosity

• Definite shape

• Definite volume

What is one difference between ice and liquid water?

• Liquid water is not fluid whereas solid water is fluid.

• The particles in solid water and liquid water vibrate at the same rate.

• The particles in solid water move freely while liquid water particles barely move.

• The particles in solid water have a fixed arrangement whereas the particles in a liquid water are free to move.

Which of the following describes the process of freezing?

• Freezing occurs when the particles of a liquid slow down and take fixed positions.

• Freezing occurs when the particles of a solid vibrate so fast that they break free.

• Freezing occurs when the temperature drops enough so that a gas turns into a solid.

• Freezing occurs when the temperature of any substance drops to 0 degrees Celsius.
