Question

which of the following explains why liquids can flow and solids cannot? solids have particles that do not move. solids have larger particles than gases and liquids. solids have strong forces that hold the particles together. solids weigh more than liquids and gases. which phase of matter has particles that vibrate in fixed positions? liquid gas solid how do you convert 600 km to m? move the decimal 3 places to the right. move the decimal 2 places to the left. move the decimal 2 places to the right. move the decimal 3 places to the left.

Explanation:

1. In solids, strong intermolecular forces hold particles together in fixed positions, preventing them from flowing like liquids. Particles in solids do move (vibrate), so the first option is incorrect. Particle size isn't the main reason for the non - flowability of solids compared to liquids and gases, and weight isn't related to the ability to flow.
2. Solids have particles that vibrate in fixed positions due to strong intermolecular forces. Liquids have more freedom of movement and gases have even more.
3. Since 1 km = 1000 m, to convert km to m, we multiply by 1000. When converting 600 km to m, we move the decimal 3 places to the right (600 km = 600000 m).

Answer:

1. Solids have strong forces that hold the particles together.
2. Solid
3. Move the decimal 3 places to the right.
