Why do amorphous solids not have a long-range order in the arrangement of their particles?
Their formation involves very rapid cooling.
They do not have enough particles.
Their particles eventually change positions.
Their particles always stay in the same
Their formation involves very rapid cooling.
Which sequence represents the relationship between pressure and volume of an ideal gas as explained by the kinetic-molecular theory?
more gas particles > more collisions > higher pressure
smaller volume >crowded particles > less collisions> lower pressure
smaller volume > crowded particles > more collisions > higher pressure
The diagrams show gases that are stored in two separate but similar containers.

If both gases are at the same temperature, which one has the greater pressure?
gas 1 because the particles are moving much faster
gas 1 because it has fewer partic
gas 2 because it has more particles that are colliding

According to the kinetic-molecular theory, what happens to a liquid when it is transferred from one container to another?
The volume and the shape stay the same.
The volume increases to fill the new container, but the shape stays the same.
The volume stay
The volume stays the same, but the shape changes to fit the new container.
