Question

drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. match each statement with the state of matter it describes. liquid solid gas plasma particles vibrate in a rigid structure and do not move relative to their neighbors. it takes the shape of its container but keeps a constant volume. it is the most common state of matter in the universe. particles move rapidly and independently of other particles.

Explanation:

• For liquid: Liquids conform to the shape of their container while maintaining a fixed volume, so "It takes the shape of its container but keeps a constant volume" matches liquid.
• For solid: In solids, particles are in a rigid, ordered structure and vibrate in place without moving relative to neighbors, so "Particles vibrate in a rigid structure and do not move relative to their neighbors" matches solid.
• For gas: Gas particles have high kinetic energy, moving rapidly and independently, so "Particles move rapidly and independently of other particles" matches gas.
• For plasma: Plasma is the most abundant state of matter in the universe (found in stars, etc.), so "It is the most common state of matter in the universe" matches plasma.

Answer:

liquid $\longleftrightarrow$ It takes the shape of its container but keeps a constant volume
solid $\longleftrightarrow$ Particles vibrate in a rigid structure and do not move relative to their neighbors
gas $\longleftrightarrow$ Particles move rapidly and independently of other particles
plasma $\longleftrightarrow$ It is the most common state of matter in the universe
