What do particles carry that bumps into particles ahead of them and become compressed momentarily?
You are referring to 'compressing waves' which carry energy along the wave, which causes this momentarily compression, the opposite of this is rarefaction, where the particles spread out.
What happens when a fluid is compressed?
It tries to spread out in the container.
What is an example of compressional waves?
a slinky spread out and then grab a few coils and release and watch a compressional wave! Another example is a sound wave. the particles compressed together form a compression. The particles more widely spread apart form a rarefaction.slinkySound waveCompressional waves are also called mechanical waves. Examples include the plasma waves or guided waves.
Are liquid particles spread apart?
yes. solids are more dense than liquids and the particles in gases are more spread out and faster.
What happens to temp when particles are spread out and move rapidly?
Particles spread out and move rapidly due to the increase in temperature. Movement of particles is dependent on temperature...not the other way around.

Why does the mass of a gas not change when it is compressed?
Non compressed gas has the gas particles spread out more. But when compressed packed more tightly therefore taking up less room but yet still has the same amount of atoms. So you still have the same weight but just that the particles are packed more tightly.
Which state of matter is highly compressible?
Gases. Also, there are really four states; Solid, Liquid, Gas, Plasma.
Can helium be compressed why?
Helium can be compressed because it is a gas. Gases are basically spread out molecules, that is, the larger the container that they are in, the larger they spread out. They still have the same amount of molecules, but they are just spread wider. Therefore, they can also be compressed. As an example, think of 100 humans being the 100 molecules of helium. There are only 100 of them, but they could be spread out in a massive room, or they could be crammed into a tiny room.
Why a gas completely fills any container you it in?
since gas has no definite volume or shape it can be expanded or compressed, the particles will spread till they reach the walls of their container

Why gases are easily compressible where as liquids and solids are not?
Because the particles in a gas are free-moving, and spread widely apart. When they are compressed, there is extravspace that they can fit into. Liquids+solids have particles that are clos together :)
Why does the particle model predict that gases can be compressed but predicts that solids and liquids cannot?
The particle model explains a very clear difference between solids and gases. It shows that solids are densely packed with each particle eagerly sticking to the others keeping a rigid shape. The model also shows that gas particles are free from each other and will happily bounce off each other to spread out.
What is a characteristic of emulsion?
Emulsified fats are soft shortenings that spread easily throughout a batter and quickly coat particles of sugar and flour.
When particles spread out there named?
In the gas phase, the particles spread out to completely fill their container.
Could jelly be a solid and why?
yes because the particles in the jelly are not a spread out enough to be a liquid were as a solid would have particles tight together.
Why does diffusion occur in liquids and gases?
Diffusion, the passive movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Particles like to move! Because they like to move, they want to spread out as much as possible. Diffusion happens because the particles want to spread into the remaining fluid, (liquid and gas) to an area of low concentration. Another way of thinking, when you spray deodorant, because of the initial pressure that pushes all of the particles out of the can, they spread out in all directions.
