Question

solid / liquid / gas
solids, liquids, and gases are phases of matter, draw a diagram of what each one looks like on a molecular scale. when describing its movement, indicate if the molecules slide past one another, if they vibrate in place, or if they move quickly and further away from each other. for shape and volume, say whether they are definite (the same no matter the location or container) or indefinite (different mattering on the location or container)

write t for true if the statement is true; write f for false if the statement is false

1. matter is anything that has mass and takes up space
2. volume is the amount of space an object takes up
3. gases are not matter because most are invisible
4. particles in the solid state are not in motion

Explanation:

1. By definition, matter has mass and occupies space, so this is true.
2. Volume is indeed the space an object takes up, so this is true.
3. Gases are matter as they have mass and occupy space despite being often invisible, so this is false.
4. Particles in solids vibrate in place, so they are in motion, and this is false.

Answer:

1. T
2. T
3. F
4. F
