1. What similarities exist between liquids and gases in terms of the kinetic molecular theory? What distinguishes
liquids from gases?
2. Explain why solids are stiff and maintain their shape, whereas liquids take on the shape of any container they are
put into.
3. Whether a substance is a solid, liquid, or gas, the intermolecular forces present in each are the same. Then why
does a substance go from being a gas to a liquid or a solid?
