Why are the particles in a liquid spaced out?
Matter can exist in three states: solid, liquid?æ or gases. In solid, particles are two close to each other. In liquid,they are a bit a part while in?æ gases they are very far apart .
When air particles are further apart what do you have?
Gas
Why do the particles of gases move freely?
Because the particles are further apart (look up the particle model) :)
Do particles move closer or farther apart when freezing?
Yes. All atomic sized particles move, by vibrating. no matter how cold they are.
What happens when you heat up a liquid particle?
No, heating a liquid makes it's particles move farther apart (makes the liquid expand). This is most readily observed in an old glass thermometer. As your temperature goes up (as you heat the liquid in the thermometer), the liquid inside expands and travels up the thermometer.

What do particles do during expansion and contraction?
If the object is heated it will expand because the particles gain energy from the heat and move about more vigorously causing them to bump into each other and move further and further apart. When the substance is cooled (gets cold) the particles slow down and move closer and closer together causing the object to contract.
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.
When air particles are further apart what do you have?
Gas
Are the lines closer together or further apart to indicate a steep slope?
Closer
As you get higher in the atmosphere does the particles get closer together or farther apart?
the particles get closer together because my class just talked about that stuff!!
In hot air are particles closer together?
No, farther apart.
Are particles in a gas or a liquid further apart?
The molecules in a gas are spread further apart than those in a liquid.
How does water flows?
particles are further apart and allows water to flow
Are the particles in gas far apart?
Yes they are. They become even further apart when they get more energy (warm up).
What is the distances between compression and rarefaction of longitudinal wave?
Compression is the areas where the particles are closer together. Rarefaction is the areas where the particles are stretched apart.
Why do the particles of gases move freely?
Because the particles are further apart (look up the particle model) :)
