Problem Description:
The task involves categorizing different substances and their particle arrangements into three states of matter:
solid,
liquid, and
gas. The goal is to match the descriptions, images, and particle diagrams with the correct state of matter.
Solution Explanation:
#### Step 1: Understand the States of Matter
1.
Solid:
- Particles are closely packed in a fixed, ordered pattern.
- They have a definite shape and volume.
- Examples: Bricks, ice (when frozen).
2.
Liquid:
- Particles are close together but can move past each other.
- They have a definite volume but take the shape of their container.
- Examples: Milk, water.
3.
Gas:
- Particles are widely spaced and move freely in all directions.
- They have neither a definite shape nor a definite volume.
- Examples: Helium in a balloon.
#### Step 2: Analyze the Provided Information
The image contains:
-
Substances: Milk, bricks, helium.
-
Particle diagrams: Different arrangements of particles.
-
Descriptions: Characteristics of solids, liquids, and gases.
#### Step 3: Match Substances to States of Matter
1.
Milk:
- Milk is a liquid because it has a definite volume but takes the shape of its container.
-
State: Liquid.
2.
Bricks:
- Bricks are solid because they have a fixed shape and volume.
-
State: Solid.
3.
Helium:
- Helium is a gas because it fills the space of its container and has no fixed shape or volume.
-
State: Gas.
#### Step 4: Match Particle Diagrams to States of Matter
1.
Closely packed particles in a fixed pattern:
- This describes a solid.
-
State: Solid.
2.
Particles close together but able to move past each other:
- This describes a liquid.
-
State: Liquid.
3.
Particles widely spaced and moving freely:
- This describes a gas.
-
State: Gas.
#### Step 5: Match Descriptions to States of Matter
1.
"Particles are closely packed in a fixed pattern. They have a definite shape and volume.":
- This matches the characteristics of a solid.
-
State: Solid.
2.
"Particles are close together but can move past each other.":
- This matches the characteristics of a liquid.
-
State: Liquid.
3.
"Particles are widely spaced and move freely in all directions.":
- This matches the characteristics of a gas.
-
State: Gas.
Final Answer:
-
Milk: Liquid
-
Bricks: Solid
-
Helium: Gas
-
Closely packed particles in a fixed pattern: Solid
-
Particles close together but can move past each other: Liquid
-
Particles widely spaced and moving freely: Gas
-
"Particles are closely packed in a fixed pattern. They have a definite shape and volume.": Solid
-
"Particles are close together but can move past each other.": Liquid
-
"Particles are widely spaced and move freely in all directions.": Gas
Thus, the final answer is:
\boxed{\text{Milk: Liquid, Bricks: Solid, Helium: Gas}}
