QuestionAnswer
How are particles in objects in a solid state? Packed tightly together in fixed positions
How are particles in objects in a gas state? Spread out and fill all the space available to them
How are particles in objects in a liquid state? Free to move in a container but remain in close contact with one another

What happens when an inflated balloon is exposed to cold air? The volume inside the balloon decreases
How does heat transfer occur? Only from warm objects to colder objects
How does heat transfer through convection? When heated air moves from baseboard heaters to the rest of a room
