Answer:
Some Characteristics of Gases, Liquids and Solids and the Microscopic Explanation for the Behavior
gas liquid solid
assumes the shape and volume of its container
particles can move past one another assumes the shape of the part of the container which it occupies
particles can move/slide past one another retains a fixed volume and shape
rigid - particles locked into place
compressible
lots of free space between particles not easily compressible
little free space between particles not easily compressible
little free space between particles
flows easily
particles can move past one another flows easily
particles can move/slide past one another does not flow easily
rigid - particles cannot move/slide past one another
Answer:
Explanation:.
a) solid -(1) solid have fixed volume.
(2)They are rigid (their shape cannot be changed)
(3)The kenitic energy of its particles is minimum
b) liquid - (1) They can be compressed.
(2) They take up the shape of the container
(3) The kenitic energy of its particles is more than solid
c) gas - (1) They can be compressed much.
(2) They can take any shape.
(3) The kenitic energy of its particles is maximum.
