Question

the atoms/molecules that make up a solid are packed together and arranged in regular, repeating patterns. they are held firmly in place by their attractive forces and their but do vibrate within a limited area. solids, have a shape and volume. in liquids, the atoms/molecules have a moderate kinetic energy and flow easily around one another. they are kept from flying apart by attractive forces between them. liquids have a fixed but assume the of their containers. atoms/molecules in gases fly in all directions at great speeds. due to this kinetic energy, attractive forces between them are. gases assume the volume and shape of their containers. lastly, plasma is the state of matter with the highest thermal energy. it is made up of free electrons and the positive ions from which they came. the electrons freely move around within this system of positive ions in a similar way to. plasmas are strongly influenced by electric and magnetic fields due to the charged particles.

Explanation:

These blanks relate to the kinetic molecular theory of the four states of matter, describing the arrangement, movement, and properties of particles in solids, liquids, gases, and plasma.

1. Solids have tightly packed particles with restricted movement, maintaining fixed shape/volume.
2. Liquids have fixed volume but take the shape of their container.
3. Gases have high kinetic energy, so interparticle attractive forces are negligible.
4. Plasma's free-moving electrons behave similarly to gas particles.

Answer:

1. The atoms/molecules that make up a solid are packed tightly together and arranged in regular, repeating patterns. They are held firmly in place by their attractive forces and their movement is restricted but do vibrate within a limited area. Solids, have a fixed shape and volume.
2. In liquids, the atoms/molecules have a moderate kinetic energy and flow easily around one another. They are kept from flying apart by attractive forces between them. Liquids have a fixed volume but assume the shape of their containers.
3. Atoms/molecules in gases fly in all directions at great speeds. Due to this high kinetic energy, attractive forces between them are negligible. Gases assume the volume and shape of their containers.
4. Lastly, plasma is the state of matter with the highest thermal energy. It is made up of free electrons and the positive ions from which they came. The electrons freely move around within this system of positive ions in a similar way to gas particles. Plasmas are strongly influenced by electric and magnetic fields due to the charged particles.
