Questions and Answers
What characterizes the particle arrangement in solids?
What characterizes the particle arrangement in solids?
- Particles are packed tightly but can change their position.
- Particles are widely spaced and move rapidly in all directions.
- Particles are in a structured pattern and vibrate in place. (correct)
- Particles are loosely arranged and can move freely.
Which statement is true regarding liquids?
Which statement is true regarding liquids?
- Liquids have a fixed volume but can change shape. (correct)
- Liquids have both fixed volume and shape.
- Liquids can change both shape and volume.
- Liquids have a fixed shape but can change volume.
How do the kinetic energy levels of particles compare in solids versus gases?
How do the kinetic energy levels of particles compare in solids versus gases?
- Particles in solids have higher kinetic energy than those in gases.
- Particles in gases have higher kinetic energy and move more than those in solids. (correct)
- Particles in gases have no kinetic energy.
- Particles in gases move less and have less kinetic energy than in solids.

Study Notes
States of Matter
- Solids have a fixed shape and volume.
- Liquids have a fixed volume but can change shape.
- Gases can change both shape and volume.
- All matter is composed of tiny, moving particles.
- The particles in a substance are the same, regardless of its state of matter (solid, liquid, or gas).
- A particle can be an atom or a molecule.
- Particles have different amounts of motion in each state of matter.
- Kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
- The particles that make up matter have kinetic energy.
- The particles in all states of matter are in constant motion.
- Increased particle motion means increased kinetic energy.
- In solids, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place.
- In liquids, particles can move past each other but maintain contact.
