In __________ and __________, the molecules move __________ from place to place and __________ off each other more frequently. In __________ the molecules stay __________ mostly in __________, but __________ with more energy.
Understand the Problem
The question appears to be a fill-in-the-blank exercise related to the movement of molecules in different states of matter. It is asking for specific terms to complete the provided statements about how molecules behave in solids, liquids, and gases.
Answer
In gases and liquids, molecules move quickly and bounce. In solids, they stay in place but vibrate.
In gases and liquids, the molecules move quickly from place to place and bounce off each other more frequently. In solids, the molecules stay mostly in place, but vibrate with more energy.
Answer for screen readers
In gases and liquids, the molecules move quickly from place to place and bounce off each other more frequently. In solids, the molecules stay mostly in place, but vibrate with more energy.
More Information
In gases, molecules move rapidly due to high kinetic energy. In liquids, they move freely but with less energy than in gases. Solids have molecules that vibrate in fixed positions.
Tips
Ensure you distinguish between the freedom of movement in gases and liquids versus the fixed positions in solids.
