Question

Three grams of the same substance in different phases are stored in three different containers. Each container is barely large enough to hold the substance.
a.The atoms in the solid would be moving vigorously around the container.

b.The atoms in the liquid would be vibrating in position.

c.The atoms in the solid would be vibrating in position.

d.The atoms in the gas would be moving slowly around the container.

Answer 1

Answer:

THE ATOMS IN THE SOLID WILL BE VIBRATING IN POSITION.

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

c.The atoms in the solid would be vibrating in position.

Explanation:

The properties of solid, liquid and gas which makes them different ares the intermolecular interactions between particles and the thermal energy.

Solids molecules are fixed in their position and may show vibrations.

Liquid molecules can move slowly as they have inter-molecular forces in between solid and gas,

Gas molecules can move vigorously here and there due very weak inter-molecular interactions and high thermal energy.

Thus the answer would be the atoms in the solid would be vibrating in position.
