Which of the following describes the particles of the solids? I. Particles are locked into place and are not compressible. II. Particles have lots of free space between them and are compressible. III. Particles flow easily and assume the shape and volume of the container. IV. Particles have unnoticeable space between them and are not capable of flowing. a. I and II b. II and III c. III and IV d. I and IV 2. Which among the phases of matter is dependent on container in order to acquire its shape? a. liquid b. solid c. liquid & gas d. liquid & solid 3. The spacing structure affects the movement of molecules of matter and when there is heat transfer, molecules will move and vibrate. What is your prediction on the movement of gas molecules? a. Gas molecules will be stationary. b. Gas molecules will move but almost negligible. c. Gas molecules will move but at a very limited distance. d. Gas molecules will move freely in space at high speed. 4. Which of the following statements best explain why solids have definite shape and volume while gases don’t have this property? a. Because the particles of solid are in close contact with one another and are loosely arranged, held by a very weak molecular attraction while gas particles are in close contact with one another and held by a weak molecular force b. Because the particles of solid are packed tightly together, often in an orderly arrangement and held by a strong molecular force while gas particles are much farther apart and are loosely arranged with negligible attraction between each particle. c. Because the particles of solid are in close contact with one another, the arrangement is not rigid and held by a weak molecular force while the particles of gas are much farther apart and are loosely arranged with negligible attraction between each particle. d. Because the particles of solids are packed tightly together, often in an orderly arrangement and held by a strong molecular force while particles of gases are in close contact with one another and the arrangement is not rigid and it is held by a weak molecular force. 5. How does the arrangement of particles relate to the forces of attraction? a. The closer the particles to each other, the weaker the force of attraction between them. b. The closer the particles to each other, the stronger the force of attraction between them. c. The farther the particles to each other, the weaker the force of attraction between them. d. Either closer or farther the particles to each other, the force of attraction stays the same. 6. How does increasing the temperature affect the arrangement of particles in different phases of matter? a. Increasing the temperature causes particles to transition from solid to liquid to gas phases. b. Increasing the temperature causes particles to become more spread out in solids, liquids, and gases. c. Increasing the temperature has no effect on the arrangement of particles in solids, liquids, and gases. d. Increasing the temperature leads to particles becoming more tightly packed in solids, liquids, and gases.
Understand the Problem
The question consists of a series of multiple-choice inquiries related to the phases of matter, specifically focusing on the properties and behaviors of solids, liquids, and gases at the molecular level. Each question asks for a specific understanding of these properties and how they change under different conditions.
Answer
1. d. I and IV 2. c. liquid & gas 3. d. Gas molecules move freely in space at high speed. 4. b. Solids have tightly packed, orderly particles with strong forces; gases have far apart, loosely arranged particles. 5. c. The farther apart particles are, the weaker the attraction. 6. a. Temperature increase causes phase transition from solid to liquid to gas.

More Information
Solids have particles locked in place, making them incompressible and incapable of flowing. Liquids and gases take the shape of their container because their particles move freely. Increasing temperature generally increases particle motion and can cause phase transitions.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the properties of gases and solids since gases move freely and are compressible, unlike solids.
