Question

Which of the following statements are true of solids?Check all that apply.O A. The particles are not in a fixed location.B. The particles vibrate.C. The particles have less kinetic energy than those of liquids orgases.D. They have weak intermolecular forces between the atoms ormolecules.SUBMIT

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A. The particles are not in a fixed location:

Particles in a solid are vibrating within a fixed location.

FALSE

-------------

B. The particles vibrate:

Particles are always vibrating. The hotter the object, the more average kinetic energy the particles have, and thus vibrating faster.

TRUE

------------

C. The particles have less kinetic energy than those of liquids or gases.

The higher the kinetic energy, The faster the vibration, and the particles move around faster. Solids have the lowest kinetic energy as they are tightly packed and vibrate in place.

TRUE

-----------

D. They have weak intermolecular forces between the atoms or molecules.

In solids, the intermolecular forces are very strong, and the constituent particles are closely packed.

FALSE

Answer: B and C
