Answer:

This is True

Step-by-step explanation:

The particles in a gas have no confined shape so they move however they feel like the particles in a liquid have a bit more boundary as liquid is always contained in something even in the oceans liquid is contained in something not to mention liquid particles can not glide as easily around one another as gas particles can they generally have to go with the rest of the particles creating some level of order before finally having the solid which the particles don't really move at all.

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In gases, there is no significance attractive forces between gas molecules that allow the gas molecules move free and fill its container, so the gas particles are less ordered.
  • In liquids, there is a kind of attractive forces that ordering the liquid molecules but it is not strong enough to keep the molecules in a fixed position.
  • In solids, the intermolecular forces are strong enough to keep the solid particles fixed in its position, so the particles in solid are in a highly ordered arrangement.
  • So, the particles in a gas are less ordered than the particles in a liquid, and the particles in a liquid are less ordered than the particles in a solid.
