Question

Rita has two small containers, one holding a liquid and one holding a gas. Rita transfers the substances to two larger containers. Compare the behavior of the atoms in the liquid and in the gas once they are moved to the larger containers.

Answer 1

Hard to explain without actually drawing it, basically the gas particles will be really spread out in the container, so maybe like 6-7 dots in the container of your required to draw it, and the liquid will be a lot of particles next to each other

Answer 2

Sample Response: liquids flow freely, they take the shape of the container they are in, but have a definite volume. Like liquids, the shape of a gas changes with the container. This is because the atoms in a gas move rapidly and freely to fill any available space. Unlike liquids, the volume of a gas changes depending on the container it is in.
