Question

A student describes the motion of particles in each of the four different states of matter.

State 1: Particles that are charged move freely
State 2: Particles move freely at high speed
State 3: Particles are locked in place
State 4: Particles slide past one another

Which state describes gases?

Answer 1

Answer: State 1 : Particles that are charged move freely --- Plasma
State 2: Particles move freely at high speed --- Gas
State 3: Particles are locked in place --- Solid
State 4: Particles slide past one another --- Liquid

Answer 2

“State 2: Particles move freely at high speed” describes gases.

“Charged particle that move freely” describes plasmas.

“Particles are locked in place describes” solids.

“Particles that slide past one another” describes liquids.
