Explain the properties of particles in solids.

• Particles in solids are arranged in a random pattern and have no specific structure.

• Particles in solids are constantly moving and have no fixed positions.

• Particles in solids are closely packed together, and vibrate in fixed positions.

• Particles in solids are far apart from each other and have weak attractive forces between them.

How do particles behave in a liquid state?

• Particles in a liquid state are able to move past each other and takes the shape of its container.

• Particles in a liquid state are unable to take the shape of their container and remain in a fixed form.

• Particles in a liquid state are arranged in a rigid, fixed pattern.

• Particles in a liquid state are completely stationary and do not move at all.

Give an example of how the particle model is used in everyday life.

• The behavior of solid particles in a liquid

• The movement of planets in the solar system

• The interaction of light particles with matter

Describe the behavior of gaseous substances according to the particle model.

• Gaseous substances have particles that move in a predictable pattern

• Gaseous substances have particles that are stationary and close together

• Gaseous substances do not exert pressure on the walls of their container

• Gaseous substances have particles in random motion, and have a lot of space between them.

What are the properties of particles in a gas state?

• Random motion, and large distances between particles.

• Organized motion, and small distances between particles

• Random motion, and large distances between particles

• Organized motion, and small distances between particles

How does the particle model help us understand the behavior of matter in different states?

• The particle model only applies to one state of matter

• The particle model is only relevant for understanding the behavior of matter in solids

• The particle model explains how particles are arranged and how they move in different states.

• The particle model has no impact on understanding the behavior of matter
