Question 6 • GA-GSE Physical Science A

Julianna blows air into a balloon to inflate it. What can be known about the atoms of the air?

Answer
A
They are close together.
B
They are moving constantly at high speeds.
C
They vibrate in place.
D
They are held together by strong attractions.

Explanation

Air is a gas, and its atoms or molecules move constantly and rapidly in random directions. Their motion lets the air spread out and fill the balloon. Gas particles are not packed close together or held by strong attractions, and vibrating in place describes particles in a solid.
