Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary difference between solids and liquids in terms of particle arrangement? (2023)
  • Step 1: Understand that both solids and liquids are made of tiny particles.
  • Step 2: In solids, the particles are packed closely together and stay in fixed positions, giving solids a definite shape and volume.
  • Step 3: In liquids, the particles are still close together but can move around each other, allowing liquids to take the shape of their container while still having a fixed volume.
