QUESTION:
The first diagram depicts a compound in its liquid state. Which of the other diagrams best depicts the compound after it has evaporated into a gas?
ANSWER:
Matter is districted into three physical forms:
Solids:
* Atoms are packed close together
* Atoms are arranged in a regular pattern
* Atoms do not move freely
* Atoms are held together by bonds
* All solids are hard in nature.
Liquids:
* Atoms are packed close together but not as tight as solids.
* Atoms are arranged randomly
* Bonds hold atoms together but not as strong as solids so atoms can also move freely.
* They can take the shape of the container they are in.
Gases:
* Atoms are very far apart
* Atoms move around randomly
* They take shape of the container they are in
* They can be compressed and squeezed.
