Question

The motion of particles in solids, liquids, and gases are distinct in their behavior. Which state of matter is randomly separated with no regular arrangement and move freely at high speeds?

A. Solid
B.Liquid
C.Mixture
D.Gas

Answer 1

D. Gas

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. This makes choice c (Mixture) incorrect because it is not part of the group.

The particles in gas are widely separated, which means there's a lot of free space between the particles. This makes it easily compressible. The particles then move past each other, which causes no regular arrangement.
