Yes. But there are many (about 15) different phases of ice. Have a crack at Ice in wikipedia.com.
The state of matter where molecules are closest together is the solid state. In solids, molecules are arranged in a highly ordered structure with minimal space between them.
No, a phase is a physical characteristic. The substance may or may not have definite shape and volume.
Ice is a molecule of water (H2O) in the solid phase.
No, the gas phase is not the most ordered phase. In the gas phase, molecules have high kinetic energy and are not held together in a fixed arrangement, leading to a high degree of disorder and randomness. The solid phase is typically the most ordered phase, with particles arranged in a specific and fixed lattice structure.
gaseous phase
Yes, molecules in the gas phase typically move faster than in the liquid phase because gas molecules have more kinetic energy compared to liquid molecules due to the higher temperatures in the gas phase. Additionally, there is more space between gas molecules, allowing them to move more freely and at higher speeds compared to the liquid phase where molecules are more closely packed.
The reverse phase is the stationary phase in chromatography where nonpolar molecules elute faster than polar molecules. This is opposite to normal phase chromatography, where polar molecules elute faster than nonpolar molecules.
Water molecules are closest together in the liquid phase.
A gaseous phase!
If the molecules in question have a solid phase, for example water which goes from liquid to solid, namely ice, then least kinetic energy is the solid phase, with minimum kinetic occurring at 0 Kelvin (absolute zero).
The chemical symbol for ice is H2O, which represents the water molecule. Ice is the solid phase of water, where water molecules are arranged in a crystalline structure.
In the solid phase, molecules are closely packed together in a fixed position, vibrating in place. In the liquid phase, molecules are more loosely packed and have more freedom to move around, sliding past each other. In the gas phase, molecules are far apart and move freely and quickly, colliding with each other and the container walls.
