What is it called Fewer molecules spread apart?
When a liquid or gas is heated, the molecules move faster, bump into each other, and spread apart. Because the molecules are spread apart, they take up more space. They are less dense. The opposite occurs when a liquid or gas is cooled.
How are liquids and solids different from each other?
Liquid molecules are spread out. Solid molecules are close together. And gas molecules are far apart.
Compare the three states of water in terms of the speed and arrangement of their molecules?
When water is in its gaseous form, the molecules are spread far apart and moving very quickly. In the liquid form, molecules are spread evenly and move at an average speed. In its solid form, the molecules are very close together and move very slowly.
How does temperature affect the density of a gas?
With cooler temperatures, the gaseous molecules grow closer together and when the temperature is warmer, the gas molecules spread apart(out).
What is the crowding together of molecules called?
a compression wave is the crowding of molecules a rarefaction is spread apart molecules
Why neither liquids nor gases have fixed shapes?
Gases don't have a definite shape because the molecules aren't tightly packed together like solids and liquid's molecules are. The molecules in the gas are spread out and move freely about quickly in all directions.
What occurs when matter transitions between solids liquids and gas?
When matter transitions between solid, liquid, and gas states, molecules are either gaining or losing energy to move farther apart or closer together. In a solid, molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions. In a liquid, the molecules are more spread out and flow past each other. In a gas, the molecules are far apart and move freely in all directions.
What is different about the speed of the molecules and how they arranged in the three types of matter?
The molecules move the fastest in a gas and the slowest in a solid, while a liquid falls somewhere in between. In a solid, the molecules are tightly packed together, and cannot really move (they can only vibrate). The distance between them cannot change. In a liquid, the molecules are somewhat less tightly packed together and can move, but the distance between them is still fixed (thus, even though it can flow, liquid can't really change in volume). In a gas, the molecules are very loosely held together and the distances between them can change easily, so a gas can be compressed without difficulty.
Are the molecules in your teeth closer together or farther apart than the molecules in your saliva?
The molecules in your teeth are closer together than the molecules in your saliva. This is because solids are generally denser than liquids, resulting in molecules being packed closely together in solids like teeth. Saliva, being a liquid, has molecules that are more spread out and have more freedom of movement.
Where all molecules are spread apart in a longitudinal wave?
rarefraction
What do molecules do in a solid liquid and gas?
Solid. The molecules are compacted together and vibrate at high speeds. Liquid. The molecules are still close together but are not fixed and can roll around each other. they spread to take the shape of the container. the molecules move at even higher speeds than solid. Gas. The molecules are far away from each other and move even faster than water Molecules. the spread out or shrink inward to meet the shape of the container.
In which phase of matter are molecules farthest apart?
This question doesn't really make sense, but to answer it, Molecules can be far apart but they can't. See molecules in a solid are packed tightly together. In a gas, the molecules are relatively far apart, occasionally bouncing into each other.
