Select all the statements that correctly describe the arrangement of individual particles in the three physical states of matter. relate these particulate views to the observable properties of matter.
Question: Select all the statements that correctly describe the arrangement of individual particles in the three physical states of matter. relate these particulate views to the observable properties of matter.
A) In solids, the particles are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions. This gives solids a definite shape and volume.
B) In liquids, the particles are loosely packed and slide past each other. This allows liquids to flow and take the shape of their container, but they have a fixed volume.
C) In gases, the particles are far apart and move randomly. This makes gases expand and fill their container, and they have no definite shape or volume.
D) In plasmas, the particles are ionized and interact with electric and magnetic fields. This makes plasmas conduct electricity and emit light, and they have no definite shape or volume.
The correct statements are A, B, C and D. All four statements describe the arrangement of particles in different states of matter and how they affect their observable properties.
