Question

most of the substances around you exist in three common states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas. in each state of matter, the particles in a substance behave in a different way: in a solid, particles are packed together tightly. in a liquid, particles are also close together, but they are able to slide past one another. in a gas, particles are spread far apart, and they move quickly. match each state of matter to the correct diagram.

Explanation:

In solids, particles are packed tightly. In liquids, particles are close but can slide past each other. In gases, particles are spread far apart and move quickly. Match the descriptions to the diagrams based on these particle - arrangement characteristics.

Answer:

Top diagram: gas
Middle diagram: liquid
Bottom diagram: solid
