How are the particles in solid ice similar to the particles in liquid water, and water vapor? How are they different?

The particles in most solids are closely packed together. Even though the particles are locked into place and cannot move or slide past each other, they still vibrate a tiny bit. ... However, ice is different from most solids: its molecules are less densely packed than in liquid water. This is why ice floats.

Explanation:

colorless gas, exhibiting a blue glow when placed in an electric field

b) solid

its a type of rock

c is having 4 valence electrons and is bonded to three hydrogens and one sulphur atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to four. as all the valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, there is no lone pair left on carbon.

s is having 6 valence electrons and is bonded to one other sulfur atom and one carbon atom, therefore, the number of bond pair is equal to 2. as only two valence electrons are used in forming the bonds so, four electrons are left. therefore, two lone pairs are present on s.
