Worked example
Below is a list of four substances at 20°c.

Mercury, oil, water vapour, common salt

Which of the substances

(a) Does not have fixed shape and volume, and can be compressed.
(b) Contains the most orderly arrangement of particles.
Though process
(a) A gas has no fixed shape and no fixed volume. It can be compressed. Identify the
substance that is a gas.
(b) A solid has the most orderly arrangement of particles compared to a liquid and a gas.
Identify the substance that is a solid.
Answer
(a) Water vapour
(b) Common salt
Questions
1. (a) In which state of matter can the particles move most freely?
(b) In which state of matter are the particles closest together?
(c) Sketch a simple diagram to compare the arrangement of the particles in (a) and (b)
2. Using the kinetic particle theory, explain why
(a) liquids have fixed volumes but not fixed shapes

(b) Ice has a higher density than water vapour.

3. The table below gives information about six substances A, B, C, D, E and F. (take room
temperature as 30°c
