Question

Particles in each state of matter behave differently because they have different amounts of thermal energy. For each statement below, select whether it is true or false. (1 point) True False Particles in a solid are packed tightly. Particles in a solid have thermal energy. Particles in a solid are completely sti

Answer 1

Here are the answers for each statement:

1. Particles in a solid are packed tightly.
   True - In a solid, particles are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement.

2. Particles in a solid have thermal energy.
   True - Particles in a solid possess thermal energy, but it is relatively low compared to liquids and gases. They vibrate around fixed positions.

3. Particles in a solid are completely still.
   False - While particles in a solid do not move freely as they do in liquids or gases, they are not completely still; they vibrate in place.
