How should Jack utilize beads in constructing a model to illustrate the behavior of atoms within a liquid effectively?

The beads should be able to slide past each other.

The beads should be attached to each other and not move.

The beads should move back and forth in the same place.

The beads should be far apart and move very fast.

In Hunter's drawing depicting gas atoms moving freely at high speeds, what adjustments should he make to the illustration to accurately represent the same substance in the solid phase?

Atoms should be closely packed together.

There should be increased movement of the atoms.

There should be very wide spaces between the atoms.

The shape of atoms must be the shape of the container.

The diagram displays an atom divided into two regions: the nucleus (1) and the region surrounding the nucleus (2). What is the distribution of protons, neutrons, and electrons within the atom?

Protons and neutrons in region 1, electrons orbiting in region 2

How should Morgan employ beads in constructing a model to effectively depict the motion of atoms in a gas?

The beads should be far apart and move very fast.

The beads should be able to move around each other.

The beads should be glued together and not move.

The beads should vibrate slowly in the same place.

Which of the following accurately identifies the three smaller constituents that compose atoms?

Neutrons, electrons, and protons

In Luis's depiction of solid-state atoms, where atoms are closely packed and vibrating while maintaining their relative positions, what modifications should he implement in the illustration to faithfully portray the same substance in the liquid phase?

There should be increased movement of the atoms.

Each individual atom should be much larger.

There should be very wide spaces between the atoms.

The shape of atoms must be the shape of the container

In Kaylee's drawing depicting liquid-state atoms, where atoms are loosely packed, vibrating, and moving around each other, what adjustments should she implement in the illustration to accurately represent the same substance in the gas phase?

There should be very wide spaces between the atoms.

There should be less space between the atoms.

Each individual atom should be much larger.

The shape of atoms must be the shape of the container.
