Explanation:

• For the question about atoms, atoms are the building - blocks of all matter. This is a fundamental concept in chemistry.
• Gold is an element because it is made of only one type of atom. Elements are pure substances made of a single type of atom.
• In a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place due to the strong intermolecular forces.
• When a liquid is poured into a new container, its volume stays the same as the amount of liquid doesn't change, but its shape changes to fit the container.
• A graduated cylinder is used to measure the volume of a liquid as it has markings to indicate different volume levels.

Answer:

• For the atom question: a) Atoms are the building blocks of all matter.
• For the gold question: a) It is made of only one type of atom.
• Question 1: B. They are tightly packed and vibrate in place.
• Question 2: C. The volume stays the same, but the shape changes.
• Question 3: C. Graduated cylinder
