question 6
which of the following statements is not true?

gaseous water particles are free to move wherever they can.

as energy (heat) is added to ice, the particles within the ice cube move faster.

solids, liquids, and gases all have the same density no matter how much energy is added.

as the temperature of a gas increases in a closed container, the pressure will increase as well.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: In gases, particles have high kinetic energy and are free to move throughout the available space, so "Gaseous water particles are free to move wherever they can" is true.
2. Analyze the second option: Adding heat (energy) to ice increases the kinetic energy of its particles, making them move faster (this leads to melting), so this statement is true.
3. Analyze the third option: Solids, liquids, and gases have different densities, and density can change with energy (e.g., water expands when heated, changing density; gas density changes with pressure/temperature). So "Solids, liquids, and gases all have the same density no matter how much energy is added" is false.
4. Analyze the fourth option: In a closed container, increasing gas temperature increases particle kinetic energy and collision frequency/force, so pressure increases (Gay - Lussac's law), making this statement true.

Answer:

The statement that is NOT true is: Solids, liquids, and gases all have the same density no matter how much energy is added. (The option with this statement)
