1. Identify the phase or phases of matter (solids, liquids, and gases) that
apply to each statement. More than one phase of matter may apply to each
statement.
a. Molecules do not move around, but vibrate in place
b. Has volume but no particular shape
c. Flows
d. Molecules break free of intermolecular forces
e. Does not have a volume or shape
f. Molecules can move around and switch places, but remain close
together
a. Solid
b. Liquid
c. Liquid and Gas
d. Gas
e. Gas
f. Liquid
a. Solid
b. Liquid
c. Liquid
d. Gas
e. Gas
f. Liquid
a. The phase of matter that applies to statement a is solids. In solids, molecules are closely packed together and vibrate in place, but do not move around freely.
b. The phase of matter that applies to statement b is liquids. Liquids have a definite volume, meaning they take up space, but they do not have a specific shape and can take the shape of their container.
c. The phase of matter that applies to statement c is liquids. Liquids have the ability to flow, meaning they can pour and move from one place to another.
d. The phase of matter that applies to statement d is gases. In gases, molecules have enough energy to break free from the intermolecular forces that hold them together. They have high mobility and can move freely throughout the space.
e. The phase of matter that applies to statement e is gases. Gases do not have a definite shape or volume. They expand to fill the entire space available to them.
f. The phase of matter that applies to statement f is liquids. In liquids, molecules have some freedom of movement and can move around and switch places with each other, but they remain close together due to intermolecular forces.
Can not be positive, but
a. Solid
b. liquid and gas
c. liquid and gas
d. liquid and gas
e gas
f. liquids
