molecules in the gas phase have more potential energy than in solids
molecules in the gas phase have more kinetic energy than in solids
gaseous molecules have less mass
molecules in the gas phase have more space between them than in solids
A scientist made careful measurements of the pressure and temperature of many different gases. Based on these measurements, he concluded that "the pressure of a fixed amount of gas, measured at constant volume, is directly proportional to its absolute temperature." This statement is best described as a

J.J. Thomson studied cathode ray particles (electrons) and was able to measure the mass/charge ratio. His results showed that
the mass/charge ratio varied when the cathode material was changed
the charge was always a whole-number multiple of some minimum charge
matter included particles much smaller than the atom
atoms contained dense areas of positive charge
atoms are largely empty space
The Millikan oil-drop experiment
established the charge on an electron
showed that all oil drops carried the same charge
provided support for the nuclear model of the atom
suggested that some oil drops carried fractional numbers of electrons
suggested the presence of a neutral particle in the atom
