Question

during a cooking class, hailey and ashton noticed that the molecules of the orange juice they were using for a recipe were changing position easily and sliding past one another. what state of matter was the orange juice likely in?

Explanation:

Matter has three common states: solid, liquid, and gas. In solids, molecules are closely packed and have fixed positions. In liquids, molecules are close but can move past one another, which is why liquids can flow. In gases, molecules are far apart and move freely. Plasma is a less common state, often at high temperatures. Since the orange - juice molecules were changing position easily and sliding past one another, this is a characteristic of the liquid state.

Answer:

Liquid
