What happens to the particles in a solid?

• The particles are loosely arranged and move freely.

• The particles are closely packed together and vibrate in place.

• The particles are spread out and can flow easily.

• The particles are in a gaseous state and move rapidly.

How do liquids differ from gases?

• Liquids have a definite volume and take the shape of their container, while gases have neither definite shape nor volume.

• Liquids have no definite volume and take the shape of their container, while gases have a definite shape and volume.

• Liquids can be compressed easily, while gases cannot be compressed.

• Liquids have a definite shape and volume, while gases have a definite volume but no shape.

What happens to the particles in a liquid?

• The particles are tightly packed and cannot move.

• The particles are far apart and move freely.

• The particles are close together but can move past one another, allowing liquids to flow.

• The particles are in a fixed position and vibrate.

What is a gas?

• A state of matter that has no definite shape or volume and expands to fill its container.

• A solid that has a fixed shape and volume.

• A liquid that takes the shape of its container but has a fixed volume.

• A form of matter that can be compressed into a smaller volume.

What is plasma?

• A state of matter similar to gas but consists of charged particles and is found in stars.

• A liquid state of matter that has a fixed volume but no fixed shape.

• A solid state of matter that maintains a fixed shape and volume.

• A gaseous state of matter that is completely ionized and has no mass.
