*The atoms in a _______ have a definite volume, but move quickly enough to overcome the forces of attraction between them.* solid liquid gas
Liquid
*Use the drop-down menus to complete the statements.* *(Solids, Liquids, Gases) have a definite shape and volume.* *(Solids, Liquids, Gases) do not have a definite volume or shape.* *(Solids, Liquids, Gases) have a definite volume, but the shape may change.*

*Explain why the coin is able to float on top of the water in this glass.*
The coin is able to float on top of the water due to the concept of surface tension.
*Which statement best describes the movement of atoms in a solid?* They are able to slide past each other. They spread apart as far as possible. They have no freedom to move. They are free to move in all directions.
They have no freedom to move.
*Explain how viscosity is related to the flow and attraction between atoms in a liquid.*
Viscosity is also known as fluid friction is the contact force that exists between the atoms. The atoms of liquid upon contact experience a strong force of attraction. Due to this attraction, the atoms of liquid resist the flow of motion.
