question 6
most of the water on mars is frozen solid.
if you were analysing the frozen water on mars, describe how you would expect the particles to be arranged.
In solids, particles are closely packed in a regular, fixed pattern. They have strong forces of attraction between them, which keeps them in place. This arrangement gives solids a definite shape and volume. Frozen water (ice) on Mars would follow the general characteristics of a solid's particle arrangement.

The particles would be closely packed together in a regular, fixed arrangement. They would vibrate in fixed positions due to the strong intermolecular forces holding them in place. This close - packed and ordered structure is typical of solids.
