Matter is made up of what sized particles?

• Small

• Tiny

• Large

• Medium

All particles are still and do not move.

• False

• True

Reorder the following according to how fast the particles move from slowest to fastest

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

All particles of one size are ...

• different

• similar

• identical

• the same size

Temperature affects the ​ (a)   at which the particles​ (b)   . Warmer temperatures make the particles move ​ (c)   while particles move slower when the temperature is ​ (d)   .

• speed
• move
• faster

Particles are attracted to one another. This means that they

• move around one another

• stay close together

• stay far apatrt

• move together and apart constantly

Particles have space between them.
