Can a gas be squashed into a smaller space?
yes. Gases fill any shape/container that they are put in because the particles are spaced out, where as solids don't move because the particles are close together.
How would you draw particles arrangement of each state of matter?
Well, for a solid, you would draw the particles close together and touching so that none of them could be moved around. For a gas you would draw them very spaced apart with none touching, and for a liquid you would draw them some where in the middle with some touching and some spaced out.
Why do sounds travel quickly through solids and liquids but not gases?
because the particles are closer together so the vibrations are able to pass through them faster where as in gasses the particles are very spaced out so it takes longer to pass through the gas
Which conducts sound better air or solid?
Solid's because their particles are more closely spaced so the transfer of energy will be greater. Air's particles are more spaced so it takes more time for the particles to contact one another therefore the sound energy is transferred slower.
When waves are closely spaced together how would you describe the pitch that you hear?
High
What is an area where the particles in a medium are spaced close together?
I don't think they exactly have a name for it. Its just called "The Surface". If you want the state of that substance its solid(when the particles are closest to each other) and gaseous(when the particles are farthest from each other). If you want the value of the cross-sectional area you have to give a value in your question. Other than that I don't think its called something other than a surface.
Why is water warmer than land?
it depends on how much heat particles are in the water and air ? and because water is a fluid so the particles are closer together not letting as many particles in as air with has more spaced out particles letting more heat particles in
What is it called when particles move randomly and are well spaced out?
Particles are close but disorganized will change from gaseous state to liquid form. Once in liquid form the particles will spread out.
Can a gas be squashed into a smaller space?
yes. Gases fill any shape/container that they are put in because the particles are spaced out, where as solids don't move because the particles are close together.
What is an area of crowded particles followed by widely spaced particles?
An area of crowded particles followed by widely spaced particles is known as a density wave. In a density wave, particles are closely packed together in one region, creating a dense area, and then spread out and become less concentrated in another region, resulting in a sparse area. This pattern repeats periodically, forming a wave-like structure.
Particles move randomly and are well spaced out?
Sun
What model best describes the particles of a solid and their motion?
I would describe it as this: All of the particles are tightly packed together with almost no spaces between them. Their motion is very limited, unlike that of a gas where the particles are spaced further apart and they are free to move around more.
How are particles spaced in a solid?
Particles in a solid are tightly-packed, so there is no movement at all, therefore no space.
What effect does adding heat have on particles?
Heat makes the particles more spaced out and make it move everywhere
What type of matter do sound waves travel through the fastest?
In a solid, the particles are spaced more closely together than in a gas so the collisions between particles take less time.
Why does sound travel best in a solid?
sound is the vibration of air particles. but think about how far all the air particles are spaced from each other. now think of how close the solid's particles are spaced to one another. more particles will vibrate and so sound travels better
Why does sound travels best in solid?
sound is the vibration of air particles. but think about how far all the air particles are spaced from each other. now think of how close the solid's particles are spaced to one another. more particles will vibrate and so sound travels better
