Question

ben heats water in an iron pot on the stove. the water is not boiling. how does the motion of the atoms in the water compare to the motion of the atoms in the iron pot as he heats the water? the water atoms slide past each other faster, and the iron atoms vibrate faster both the water atoms and the iron atoms slide past each other the water atoms move freely in all directions, and the iron atoms slide past each other faster the water atoms vibrate faster, and the iron atoms do not move

Explanation:

Water is a liquid, and its atoms can slide past each other. When heated, they move faster. Iron is a solid, and its atoms vibrate in place. When heated, the iron atoms vibrate faster. Solids' atoms don't slide past each other like liquids, and they don't stay completely still.

Answer:

The water atoms slide past each other faster, and the iron atoms vibrate faster
