Best Answer

In a liquid, the particles are free to move around; in a solid, they have a fixed position. In a solid, the particles may have a regular structure (i.e., a crystal), or the structure may be irregular.

What are the arrangement of particles in a pancake?

the arrangement of particles in a pancake are that when you prepare the pancake with the ingredients it turns into a liquid and then when you cook it change into a solid


How does the arrangement and movement of particles change as a substance changes from a liquid to a gas and solid to a liquid?

From a liquid to a gas, the particles become more spread out and move slower. From a solid to a liquid, the particles also become more spread out and move slower.


Is a bromine a liquid a solid or a gas when the arrangement particles are close together but random?

What is the difference between a solid solution and a liquid solution?

The particles in a solid solution are packed closely together, they vibrate. The particles in a liquid solution are spread more.


Particles have an orderly arrangement in what type of solid?

Amorphous solids can have a random arrangement of particles.


How does the motion of the particles change when water changes from solid to a liquid to a gas?

water changing to a solid: freezing movement of particles: vibration in fixed positions. arrangement: fixed positions (bonds between every particle). moving closer together water as a liquid: movement of particles: move about (slide past each other) arrangement: close together with no regular arrangement water to gas: boiling movement of particles: free/random movement at high speeds. arrangement: particles move further apart with no bonds between particles.

Why liquid particles did not join to the solid particle?

liquid particles do not join the solid particles because the particles of solid are very tightly packed but this is not in the case of liquid


What are particles in an orderly arrangement?

solid


When the particles of a solid gain enough kinetic energy to break their ordered arrangement and slip past one another what happens to the solid?

It turns to a liquid
