Question

solid / liquid / gas
solids, liquids, and gases are phases of matter, draw a diagram of what each one looks like on a molecular scale. when describing its movement, indicate if the molecules slide past one another, if they vibrate in place, or if they move quickly and further away from each other. for shape and volume, say whether they are definite (the same no matter the location or container) or indefinite (different mattering on the location or container)
molecule diagram describe movement shape (definite or indefinite) volume (definite or indefinite)
solid
liquid
gas

Explanation:

• Solid: Molecules are closely packed in a regular pattern. They vibrate in place. Shape and volume are definite. Diagram could show molecules in a fixed - lattice arrangement.
• Liquid: Molecules are close together but can slide past one another. Shape is indefinite (takes the shape of the container), volume is definite. Diagram could show molecules in a more random but still close - knit arrangement.
• Gas: Molecules move quickly and far away from each other. Both shape and volume are indefinite (fills the container). Diagram could show widely spaced molecules moving freely.

Answer:

	Molecule Diagram	Describe Movement	Shape (definite or indefinite)	Volume (definite or indefinite)
Liquid	Molecules in a more random but close - knit pattern	Slide past one another	Indefinite	Definite
Gas	Widely spaced molecules	Move quickly and far away from each other	Indefinite	Indefinite
