Which of the following statements is true regarding the particle structure of liquids? Particles of a liquid are:
very close together, so the liquid cannot easily change its shape.
fast-moving, so they fill the volume of their container.
relatively close together, so they cannot be easily compressed.
very far apart, so they have plenty of room to move around.
A gas typically consists of:
low energy particles that experience high attractive forces between them.
low energy particles that experience no attractive forces between them.
high energy particles that experience high attractive forces between them.
high energy particles that experience little attractive force between them
Which is not true about the liquid state of matter?
The liquid state has a definite volume and a definite shape.
The liquid state takes on the shape of its container.
The liquid state has a definite volume and an indefinite shape.
