Which statement correctly describes a difference between solids and gasses?

• Solids are made up of particles; gasses are not.

• Solids take the shape of their containers; gases have definite shape

• Solids have a definite volume; gases have an indefinite volume

• Solids have indefinite shape; gases have an indefinite shape

How would a balloon left in a car on a hot day change?

• The gas particles will move quickly due to hot temperatures and the volume will expand.

• The gas particles will slow down to the hot temperatures in the car.

• The heat in the car will allow the balloon to shrivel.

• None of the above.

When a substance changes from a liquid to a solid, which of the following is TRUE?

•  The molecules of the substance get heavier because solids gain weight during a phase change.

• The molecules of the substance change the odor of the substance.

• The molecules of the substance connect more strongly to one another because solids have a stronger attraction in particles.

• The molecules of the substance change from hard to soft due to solids having a weak attraction in particles .
