  • If they operated at 100%, they would break.

Question 4

Question

Answer
  • strong forces of attraction
  • ionic bonds
  • large nucleuses

Question 5

Question
Gases will spread to fill their container because...
Answer
  • because of weak forces of attraction and particles being spread far apart
  • the particles have lots of energy
  • the particles don't have many electrons so are able to move freely
