nearly all of the attraction between them.
solids
______ 9. the particles of matter that make up a solid
a. have a weaker attraction than those of a liquid.
b. do not move at all.
c. do not move fast enough to overcome the force of attraction.
d. move from place to place.
Question 1
The three most familiar states of matter are based on the arrangement and movement of particles. Solids have a fixed shape and volume, liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of the container, and gases have neither fixed shape nor volume.
A state of matter is a distinct form that matter can take, determined by the arrangement, movement, and forces between its particles. It describes how the matter behaves in terms of shape, volume, and particle motion.
Matter is composed of tiny particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) and the spaces between these particles. The particles have energy and interact with each other.
