Particle spacing is the closest together in solids. In liquids the spacing is close, however the particles have the freedom of movement. In gas, the particles have lots of kinetic energy, therefore they are far apart.

Are solid particles packed close toghether?
I think that what you mean to ask is, are the particles in a solid packed close together, which they are, particularly in comparison to a gas, in which the particles are rather distant from each other. However, you can pack solid particles in various ways, closely or distantly. The solidity of the particle does not dictate the type of packing.
When the potential energy of a material changes what happens to the materials what of matter changes?
In a solid the particles are close together and in fixed positions In a liquid the particles are still really close together but can move around past each other In a gas the particles are free to move and far apart During a state change the particles in the substance will change from being in one of the above to another
What happens to the motion of particles in a solid and liquid and gas?
In a solid the particles are packed tightly together in a more raged formation . in a liquid the particles move passing each other in a gas the particles move freely in the space they have
Is snow a liquid?
Not really. Snow is minute particles of ice loosely joined together, and when you pack it together hard, all the particles of ice come together and makes one big lump of ice. Another thing; If it was liquid, it would be called rain, not snow.
What are things that are true about particles in a solid?
Atoms are in a solid but as in particles it depends on the object.
How are particles of a liquid different from the particles of a solid?
The particles of a solid are close together and the particles of a liquid are slightly farther apart.
Why can you not compress a liquid?
The particles in a liquid are close together. In a solid the particles are tightly packed together so you cannot compress them at all. The particles in a gas are far apart, so when they are compressed the volume of the gas reduces. The bonds in a liquid are not as close as those in a solid but they are still too close for compression.
Is a bromine a liquid a solid or a gas when the arrangement particles are close together but random?
liquid it can take the form of the containment
What is the movement of particles in a solid liquid and gas?
The particles in a solid are close together.They are fixed in pace but can vibrate.The particles that make up a liquid are close together but usually farther apart than the particles in a solid are.They can slide freely past one another.The particles in gas are farther apart than particles in a liquid and solid.Gas particles move freely in any directions.
Pure water is an example of?
...Liquid. Everything in the world is a liquid, solid or a gas. In a Solid the particles are very close together and the particles can't move very easily. In a Liquid the particles are a bit more free they are less cramped together. In a Gas there are not many particles so they can move very freely.
Which state of matter has particles that are close together but able to slide past each other?
That would be liquid because in a solid, they are stuck and in a gas, they are far apart but in a liquid the particles move around but are still close together.
Are the particles in a solid movig or still?
Still because the particles are so close together that they can't move, unlike a liquid or gas.
What happens when particles in a solid are packed so close together?
particles in a solid are packed so close together they can only
Which state of matter do particles stay close together yet are able to move past one another?
If the bits of matter are close together and move slowly, the matter is a GAS
What is a state of matter when the particles are close together but can move?
If you are asking when particles are "able to move freely" that would be a liquid. If you simply ask about "moving" then that would be a solid, since in a solid the particles are still movings.
How do particles move differently in a solid a liquid and a gas?
particles in a solid are packed close together and vibrate. the particles in a liquid are loosely packed together and can move freely but not putting too much space between them. the particles in a gas are very spread apart and can move anywhere. does this help you understand?
How are particles in liquid arranged?
The particles in a liquid have a weak force between them. They are still close together like the particles in a solid, just more loosely connected. They can freely move and slide past each other. =)
