Question

in a gas, particles are far from one another and constantly move in different directions. the particles in a gas have more thermal energy than they would if the substance were a liquid. so, when a substance is a gas, its particles move more quickly and can spread farther apart. complete the table. liquid gas particles are arranged close together. particles are spread far from one another. particles can move freely past one another.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze particle - arrangement description

The description "Particles are arranged close together" applies to liquids as liquid particles are closer compared to gases.

Step2: Analyze another particle - arrangement description

The description "Particles are spread far from one another" applies to gases as gas particles have large distances between them.

Step3: Analyze particle - movement description

The description "Particles can move freely past one another" applies to both liquids and gases, but more prominently to gases as gas particles have more freedom of movement due to less intermolecular forces. But for the sake of filling the table based on the main distinction, we note it for gases.

	Liquid	Gas
Particles are spread far from one another	No	Yes
Particles can move freely past one another	Somewhat	Yes

Answer:

	Liquid	Gas
Particles are spread far from one another	No	Yes
Particles can move freely past one another	Somewhat	Yes
