Answer:
A municipality is usually a single administrative division having corporate status and powers of self-government or jurisdiction as granted by national and regional laws to which it is subordinate.
The term municipality may also mean the governing or ruling body of a given municipality.[1] A municipality is a general-purpose administrative subdivision, as opposed to a special-purpose district.
The term is derived from French municipalité and Latin municipalis.[2] The English word municipality derives from the Latin social contract municipium (derived from a word meaning "duty holders"), referring to the Latin communities that supplied Rome with troops in exchange for their own incorporation into the Roman state (granting Roman citizenship to the inhabitants) while permitting the communities to retain their own local governments (a limited autonomy).
A municipality can be any political jurisdiction from a sovereign state, such as the Principality of Monaco, to a small village, such as West Hampton Dunes, New York.
The territory over which a municipality has jurisdiction may encompass
only one populated place such as a city, town, or village
several of such places (e.g., early jurisdictions in the U.S. state of New Jersey (1798–1899) as townships governing several villages, Municipalities of Mexico, Municipalities of Colombia)
only parts of such places, sometimes boroughs of a city such as the 34 municipalities of Santiago, Chile.[3]
Explanation:
<h2>Right answer: Molecules in a solid move slower than in a gas.
</h2>
Matter is composed of molecules, which are always motion, however, the speed of this movement will depend on its state:
-If it is a solid, the movement of the molecules at room temperature is <u>very small</u>. This means, the atoms intertwine forming defined narrow crystal structures.
-In the case of liquids, molecules have more movement, however there is still some union between the atoms of the body, although much less intense than in the solids. This can happen if the temperature of a solid increases, it loses form until the crystalline structure disappears, reaching the liquid state.
-In the gases the movement of the molecules is <u>maximum</u>, it can be said that they are in chaos and show little response to gravity. They move so quickly that they are released from each other and are hugely separated from each other.
Now, the radiation coming from the Sun is transformed into kinetic energy causing the movement of the molecules, then this kinetic energy is transformed to thermal energy (heat). Hence, when there is an increase in temperature (due to the increase in kinetic energy) the speed of the vibration of the molecules increases.
However, these changes are not the same in all the states of matter. In the case of the solid state the molecules move slowly compared to the liquid and gaseous state.
