Essay

49. Explain how the motion of particles differs in

gases, liquids, and solids.

Answer: Imagine a glass that is filled with gas. The particles will move past each other with fast movement. In liquids, molecules are similar to gas, except the fact that the liquid will stay and form the shape of the container it is held in and will not be able to escape the container. Solids are so compressed that the molecules can not move at all.
