Describe the movement of molecules in solids, liquids, and gases. Be sure to explain why the molecules move differently in each state of matter.

See explanation

Explanation:

The degree of movement of molecules in each not the three different states of matter depends on the arrangement of the molecules.

In a solid, molecules are packed closely together and are held in fixed positions by strong intermolecular forces such that they can only vibrate or rotate about a fixed point.

In liquids, molecules are less closely packed hence they can flow around each other but possess only little kinetic energy. Intermolecular forces in liquids are much lesser than that of solids.

In gases, intermolecular forces are negligible and gas molecules move with a very high velocity and possess high kinetic energy. There are large spaces between gas molecules and they are always in motion.

the best answer is d because the strong cohesion is caused by the ability of water molecules to undergo hydrogen bonding.

a is incorrect because when water solidifies, it becomes   ice, which expands and occupies a bigger volume for the same mass of water in its liquid state.

b is incorrect because water has high surface tension. besides bonding to itself it hydrogen bonds to other molecules at the top decreasing possibility for breaking of attractive forces.

c is incorrect because the water molecule has oxygen which is highly electronegative and so pulls the electron pair towards itself creating a dipole moment, making the molecule polar.

e is incorrect because water has strong adhesion, ability to stick to other molecules such as glass because of this molecules having stronger hydrogen bonding than water.
