Question

complete the table. the particles in both solids and liquids are arranged close together. but when a substance is a liquid, its particles have more thermal energy than they would if the substance were a solid. particles in a liquid can slide past one another. because of how these particles move, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of its container. particles move around one another. particles always stay near other particles. the substances shape does not depend on its container. solid liquid

Explanation:

Solids have particles that are closely packed and have strong intermolecular forces, so they maintain a fixed shape and volume and particles stay near each other and only vibrate in place. Liquids have particles that are also close - together but can slide past one another due to weaker intermolecular forces compared to solids, allowing the liquid to flow and take the shape of its container.

Answer:

State of Matter	Particles always stay near other particles	Particles move around one another	The substance's shape does not depend on its container
Liquid	Yes	Yes	No
