That's false. Because, the molecules in a solid are compacted too tightly together that they don't have all that extra space that a gas would. Molecules in a gas would have more thermal energy because they have all that space to move around in. The more they move around, the hotter it gets. The less that they move around, and the more that they put and packed together, the colder it's going to be.

Hope this helped you!! (:

A molecule that has a central atom surrounded by three single bond pairs and one unshared pair would have a _____ shape

Fantom [35]

A molecule that has a central atom surrounded by three single bond pairs and one unshared pair would have a trigonal pyramidal shape. The electon arrangement of this is called tetrahedral. It involves one atom located at the apex and at the corners are three atoms with a trigonal base. An example would be ammonia or NH3. Nitrogen has five valence electrons so that it needs to three more electrons to satisfy the octet rule and be stable. It would share electrons with the three nitrogen present. In order, to achieve the most stable geometry, the three atoms of hydrogen would attach with a bond angle of 109 degrees.
