In which of the following states are the particles in motion? Answer Gases only Gases and liquids only Solids, liquids, and gases Solids and liquids only

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

This is too easy its B solids are solid they don't move gases are always freely moving and liquids are moving too like when they slosh around in a cup

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Got it?

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

you don't need to fan me neither medal me

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

A better explanation would be going into detailing of why solids don't move and why liquids and gases do move.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The true answer is that particles in all Solids, Liquids, and Gases have some sort of motion. It's much less in solids, more in liquids, and a lot more in gases. If there was no motion, you'd be at absolute zero, which isn't possible b/c you'd violate the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle b/c now you'd have a stationary electron and thus you can know both it's position and momentum, which is just not possible

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

aprehan we weren't talking about entropy for this question, but yes of course that is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

My statement still stands @sweetburger ALL things have motion

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

OMG maybe i just agreed with you...

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Sorry, dyslexia strikes the eyes of many.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes but you said my answer was irrelevant to this question, despite it being correct

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

Funny thing is I still never disagreed with you. I was just answering a simple question. Maybe we should tell her to change his/her answer to C.

OpenStudy (sweetburger):

I did not think she was asking a question on the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle.
