• Invisible

• Circular

• Two-dimensional

What is the main characteristic of liquids?

• Ability to flow and take the shape of their container

• Ability to expand to fill any container

• Ability to conduct electricity

• Ability to maintain a fixed shape

How do the particles in a liquid move?

• Particles in a liquid do not move at all

• Particles in a liquid move in a straight line

• Particles in a liquid move freely and randomly, but they are still close together.

• Particles in a liquid move in perfect circles

What is the shape of a liquid?

• Takes the shape of a solid

What is the kinetic theory of matter?

• All particles of matter are in constant motion.

• Matter does not have any particles.

• All particles of matter are at rest.

• Matter is made up of only solid particles.

How does the kinetic theory of matter explain the behavior of particles in different states of matter?

• The kinetic theory of matter explains that particles in different states of matter have the same level of kinetic energy.

• The kinetic theory of matter explains that particles in different states of matter have different levels of potential energy.

• The kinetic theory of matter explains that particles in different states of matter have different levels of kinetic energy.

• The kinetic theory of matter explains that particles in different states of matter do not have kinetic energy.
