Question

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:

To solve this matching problem, we analyze the properties of each state of matter:

1. Solid: Particles vibrate in a rigid structure and do not move relative to their neighbors. This matches the statement "Particles vibrate in a rigid structure and do not move relative to their neighbors."
2. Liquid: Takes the shape of its container but keeps a constant volume. This matches the statement "It takes the shape of its container but keeps a constant volume."
3. Gas: Particles move rapidly and independently of other particles. This matches the statement "Particles move rapidly and independently of other particles."
4. Plasma: It is the most common state of matter in the universe. This matches the statement "It is the most common state of matter in the universe."

Matching Results:

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