Question

Meg used two examples to represent two different states of matter.

Example 1: Young children dancing slowly around one another
Example 2: Newborn babies sitting in their given spots in a crib
Which statement is correct? (1 point)
a
Example 1 represents a gas and Example 2 represents a liquid.
b
Example 1 represents a liquid and Example 2 represents a gas.
c
Example 1 represents a liquid and Example 2 represents a solid.
d
Example 1 represents a solid and Example 2 represents a liquid.

Answer 1

c Example 1 represents a liquid and Example 2 represents a solid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Example 1: Young children dancing slowly around one another

The young children dancing slowly around one another can be pictured as the flow of liquid. In liquids, the molecules are held about weakly and they slide on top of each other. They are held by weak attractive forces. This is clear picture of a liquid.

Example 2: Newborn babies sitting in their given spots in a crib

This is clear example of a solid. In a solid the molecules are held about a fixed spot. The attractive forces in liquids is very great and the molecules therein do not move about randomly.
