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. Which statement can be known about the behavior of the atoms in each container? The atoms in the solid would be moving vigorously around the container. The atoms in the liquid would be vibrating in position. The atoms in the solid would be vibrating in position. The atoms in the gas would be moving slowly around the container.

Answer 1

The correct option is this: THE ATOMS IN THE SOLID WILL BE VIBRATING IN POSITION.
This is because the molecules in solids are held together by strong inter molecular forces, the molecules can not move about freely but they cab  vibrate in their position.

Answer 2

CORRECT ANWSER: The atoms in the solid would be vibrating in position.
