The structure and movement of particles differ in solids, liquids, and gases. Which of the following best describes these differences?

In solids, particles are closely packed and vibrate in place; in liquids, particles are close but can move past each other; in gases, particles are far apart and move freely.

In solids, particles are far apart and move freely; in liquids, particles are closely packed and vibrate in place; in gases, particles are close but can move past each other.

In solids, particles are close but can move past each other; in liquids, particles are far apart and move freely; in gases, particles are closely packed and vibrate in place.

A liquid takes the shape of its container, but a solid does not because:

liquids can flow and adapt to the shape of the container

liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape

solids have fixed shape and volume

solids are rigid and maintain their shape

When a gas is compressed into a smaller volume, what happens to its particles?

The particles move faster and collide more often.

The particles slow down and collide less often.

The particles expand and take up more space.

How does temperature affect the kinetic energy of particles in a substance?

Temperature increases the kinetic energy of particles.

Temperature decreases the kinetic energy of particles.

Temperature has no effect on the kinetic energy of particles.

Temperature changes the state of the substance.

Provide one example of each state of matter and describe its shape and volume.

Solid: Ice - Definite shape and volume; Liquid: Water - Indefinite shape, definite volume; Gas: Oxygen - Indefinite shape and volume.

Solid: Water - Indefinite shape and volume; Liquid: Ice - Definite shape, indefinite volume; Gas: Oxygen - Definite shape and volume.

Solid: Oxygen - Definite shape and volume; Liquid: Ice - Indefinite shape, definite volume; Gas: Water - Indefinite shape and volume.

Solid: Ice - Indefinite shape and volume; Liquid: Oxygen - Definite shape, indefinite volume; Gas: Water - Definite shape and volume.

Which of the following statements are TRUE about states of matter and kinetic energy? (more than one answer)

As temperature increases so does kinetic energy

As temperature decreases particles move closer together

Fewer particles means there is more kinetic energy

As the number of particles increases so does kinetic energy

In liquids and solids, the attraction of the particles hold the particles close together. BUT, in a gas, the attraction of particles is NOT enough to keep gas particles together. Why?

gas particles have a lot of kinetic energy which allows the particles to break free from each other

gas particles have very little kinetic energy but A LOT of SPEED which allows the particles to break free from each other.

How are solids liquids and gases different?

Solids have a definite shape. Liquids and gases don't

Liquids take the shape of their container, but solids and gases don't

Gases contain matter and take up space, but solids don't
