Question

select the correct answer. an iron nail is made up of particles. what is true about the particles? a. they move all over the place. b. the force of attraction between them is small. c. the spacing between them is large. d. they stay in place and vibrate.

Explanation:

In a solid like an iron nail, particles are closely - packed. They have strong forces of attraction between them and are in fixed positions, vibrating in place. Particles in a solid do not move all over the place (which is characteristic of gases and liquids), the force of attraction between them is large, and the spacing between them is small.

Answer:

D. They stay in place and vibrate.
