The density of a liquid is usually only slightly less than the density of the same substance as a solid.
Which statement explains this?
Particles in both states are touching, so the spacing barely changes
Particles in a liquid move around, so each particle has less mass
Particles in a liquid are fixed in a regular, repeating pattern
Particles in both states are far apart and move about randomly
