Ben wants to model how the motion of particles changes with temperature. He considers water in an iron pot. Ben draws a model to show how the water particles and iron particles move at room temperature. Then, he draws a second model to show how the w
a) The water particles should vibrate faster, and the iron particles should not move.
b) Both the water particles and the iron particles should slide past each other faster.
c) The water particles should slide past each other faster, and the iron particles should vibrate faster.
d) The water particles should move freely in all directions, and the iron particles should slide past each other faster.

Marissa blows up balloons for a party. She decides how big or small to make each balloon. Why does the air she blows into each balloon take up all the space inside the balloon?
a) The air particles are easily able to slide past one another.
b) Air is a gas and so fills its container, the balloon, completely.
c) The air particles increase in size when they have more space.
d) There is a strong attraction between the air particles and the balloon.
