Answer
  • More kinetic energy- less volume- less density- molecules rise up
  • More kinetic energy- more volume- less density- molecules rise up
  • More kinetic energy- less volume- more density- molecules rise up

Answer
  • Molecules cools down- more kinetic energy- less volume- more dense- falls down
  • Molecules cools down- less kinetic energy- less volume- less dense- falls down
  • Molecules cools down- less kinetic energy- less volume- more dense- falls down

Answer
  • It is hot and elastic
  • It is a kind of mushy, spongy state
  • It is not quite liquid, but not quite solid state, kind of plastic

Question 4

Question
