Question 29
Original source text (the original panel preserves all diagram labels, tables and choices):
In the given diagram, two boxes contain different forms of matter: a solid and a
gas. Solids and gases have distinct properties, particularly in how their particles
move.
Which of the following statements best describes the behavior of particles in
solid and gases?
A. Gases particles are in constant, random motion and occupy the entire
volume of their container, unlike solids where particles vibrate in fixed
positions.
B. The temperature of gases particles decreases more rapidly than that of
solids particles when heat is removed.
C. Solids particles move more rapidly and fill the entire container, whereas
gases have stationary particles.
D. Gases particles move more slowly and are closer together than in solids
particles.
