What is generally true about the particles in a liquid?

Question

They are closer together and have lower energy than the particles in a solid.
They are closer together and slower moving than the particles in a gas.
They are farther apart and slower moving than the particles in a solid.
They are farther apart and have lower energy than the particles in a plasma.

Answer 1

The statement that is generally true about the particles in a liquid is:

They are closer together and slower moving than the particles in a gas.

In a liquid, the particles are indeed closer together than in a gas, allowing them to maintain a definite volume, but they have more kinetic energy than in a solid, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container. In contrast, gas particles are much farther apart and move more freely and rapidly.
