Question

drag and drop to match the phase with the model that demonstrates the correct particle arrangement. liquid plasma gas solid

Explanation:

• Solid: Particles are closely packed in a regular, fixed arrangement (matches the third image with tightly packed blue spheres).
• Liquid: Particles are close but can move past each other, taking the shape of the container's bottom (matches the second image with blue spheres at the bottom, not tightly packed like solid).
• Gas: Particles are far apart and move freely (matches the first image with blue spheres spread out, not ionized).
• Plasma: Particles are ionized (charged), so the fourth image with ionized (labeled) particles matches plasma.

Answer:

• liquid → second image (blue spheres at bottom, not tightly packed)
• plasma → fourth image (ionized label)
• gas → first image (blue spheres spread out, not ionized)
• solid → third image (tightly packed blue spheres)
