Four students described the characteristics of four different states of matter. The table below shows the description given by each student.


Description of States of Matter
Student Description
A Particles are close together, randomly arranged
B Particles are far apart, constantly collide
C Particles are close together, arranged in a fixed pattern
D Particles are charged that float around


Which student described liquids?
Student A
Student B
Student C
Student D

Answer 1

Student A described liquids because liquids are close together and randomly arranged

Answer 2

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Liquid particles are close enough but not too tightly packed like solids.

Solid particles are tightly packed so that they can't move.

Gas particles move randomly.

They constantly collide with each other. This type of motion is called Brownian Movement.
