In an experiment, a science class filled a plastic bottle with room temperature olive oil and placed it in the freezer for two hours. When the bottle was observed at the end of two hours, the volume of the oil had decreased, which caused the bottle to contract. What happened?

• The particles in the olive oil lost energy as they cooled, became less densely aligned, and took up less volume.

• The particles in the olive oil gained energy as they cooled, became less densely aligned, and took up less volume.

• The particles in the olive oil gained energy as they cooled, became more densely aligned, and took up less volume.

• The particles in the olive oil lost energy as they cooled, became more densely aligned, and took up less volume.

Which of the following describes the difference between the motion of liquid water and water vapor?

• The particles in the liquid do not move, but the particles in a gas can move back and forth.

• The motion of the particles is the same in both states, but they move slower in the gas state

• The particles in a gas can slide past each other, while the particles in a liquid are locked in place.

• The particles in a liquid can slide past each other, while the particles in a gas are free to move in all directions
