5. There is a solid wooden table with a cup of water sitting on it. Which of the following statements about the atoms and molecules of the table and the atoms and molecules of the water is TRUE?
A. The atoms and molecules of
both the liquid water and the table are moving
B. The atoms and molecules of both the liquid water and the table are not moving
C. The atonfis and molecules of the liquid water are not moving, and the atoms and molecules of
the table are moving
D. The atoms and molecules of the liquid water are moving, and the atoms and molecules of the
table are not moving.

Option D.

The atoms and molecules of the liquid water are moving, and the atoms and molecules of the

table are not moving.

Explanation:

The atoms and molecules of the liquid water are moving, and the atoms and molecules of the table are not moving and this is because the atoms and molecules of liquid water are closely packed together and they collide to each other often, thereby moving in random motion in all directions.

The molecules of solid cannot move because they are closely packed together and there is a very strong of attraction which make them to only vibrate and not move and this make solid to have definite shape.
