Which statement best describes the movement of atoms in a solid?
They are able to slide past each other.
O They spread apart as far as possible.
O They have no freedom to move.
O They are free to move in all directions.

0 They have no freedom to move

Explanation:

The movement of atoms in a solid state of matter are confined to vibrations on a molecular level so the atoms do not have freedom to move

answer one describes atomic movement in a gas state

answer two describes atomic movement in a liquid state

answer : one can design an experiment using a liquid and an additive that can be added to the liquid and observe the chemical changes in the reaction species.

one would need a beaker which is filled with a known amount of the liquid in which thermometer is placed to measure the temperature changes; after addition of the additive to the liquid solution one can note down the temperature change and find whether the reaction is endothermic or exothermic in nature. by subtracting the initial temperature value with the final temperature one can find the temperature changes.

various combinations of liquid and additive can be used. liquid in this case can be a known quantity of water and additives can be epsom salt or without epsom salt the experiment can be conducted to notice the changes. water and ice, hydrogen peroxide and dry yeast, vinegar and baking soda,etc.
