Question

which property do particles in the solid and liquid phase have in common compared to particles in the gas phase? a they have higher kinetic energy as compared to particles in the gas phase. b they are spaced closely to one another as compared to particles in the gas phase. c they are less densely spaced as compared to particles in the gas phase. d they are easily compressible as compared to particles in the gas phase.

Explanation:

Particles in solid and liquid phases are closely - packed compared to gas - phase particles. Gas - phase particles have high kinetic energy, are less densely spaced, and are easily compressible, which are not true for solid and liquid phase particles.

Answer:

B. They are spaced closely to one another as compared to particles in the gas phase.
