solids have less internal energy than liquids and gases.

Answer

solids have the least orderly internal structure.

Question 8

Elaborate on the reason(s) that matter is said to move even as in a solid state.

Accepted Answer

The particles are not able to move out of their positions relative to one another, but do have small vibrational movements.

Answer

The particles are bound through intermolecular forces but are able to move past each other with relative freedom.

Answer

The particles have sufficient energy to become an ionized gas and are in the most common state of matter in the universe.

Answer

The particles are not bound to one another, move quickly, have a low density, and are able to spread apart from one another if unconstrained.

Question 9

Which of these statements best supports the conclusion that a substance is in the plasma phase?

Accepted Answer

The substance contains charged particles.

Answer

The substance is flowing.

Answer

The substance has low kinetic energy.

Answer

The substance is at a high temperature.
