Identify each description as that of particles of a 1) solid 2) liquid 3) gas __ A. has definite volume but takes the shape of the container __ B. particles are moving rapidly __ C. particles fill the entire volume of a container __ D. particles have a fixed arrangement __ E. particles are close together but moving randomly

Answer 1

Answer:

A.

Liquid

B.

Gas

C.

Gas

D.

Solid

E.

Liquid.

Explanation:

Solids have definite shape and volume and vibrate around a fixed position. Its relative intermolecular forces are very strong which holds its particles in a fixed position.

Liquids takes the shape of the container, that is no definite shape, has fixed volume and its particles move freely but are still attached to each other due to its mildly strong intermolecular forces.

Gases has no shape nor volume but it is highly compressible while its particles move freely in random paths.
