Answer:

  • <u><em>Copper atoms vibrate around fixed positions, whereas mercury atoms move around while staying close together. </em></u>

Explanation:

The <em>solid </em>state of matter is characterized by rigid crystalline structures, in which <em>atoms </em>can vibrate around a fixed position. That is why <em>solids</em> have definite shape and volume, and cannot flow. This is described in the last statement when it states <em>"Copper atoms vibrate around fixed positions"</em>

The <em>liquid </em>state of matter is characterized by the <em>atoms </em>being more separated than in<em> solids.</em> While the <em>atoms </em>in the liquid are not completely free to move, they can slide past the neighboring atoms, which gives them the property to flow. Therefore, the liquids, although they have a defined volume, take the form of the container. This is what the last statement describes as "mercury atoms move while remaining together"
