What is not a characteristic of the particle model used in the explanation?

• Particles are atoms, ions, or molecules

• Particles are solid inelastic spheres

• It includes details of the forces between particles

• It is a simplification to understand a complicated concept

What do the weak forces of attraction in liquids allow?

• Liquids to keep a definite shape

• Particles to move freely

• Liquids to evaporate at room temperature

• Particles to form a regular lattice

What is true about the volume of gases?

• It is definite and unchanging

• It changes to fill the container

• It decreases in cold temperatures

• It is always less than the volume of liquids
