What states of matter contains particles that are tighly linked toghter in a definite shape?
solid
A state of matter that contains particles that are tightly linked together in a definite shape?
The state of matter that fits this description is a solid. In a solid, the particles are tightly packed and arranged in a fixed position, resulting in a definite shape and volume. The strong intermolecular forces between the particles prevent them from moving freely.
What are the general classes of colloids?
The general classes of colloids are sols (solid particles dispersed in a liquid), gels (cross-linked networks of solid particles dispersed in a liquid), and emulsions (liquid droplets dispersed in another liquid).
The particles of a solid are linked together in a network If the temperature of the solid increases the particles gain energy If they gain enough energy the particles can break free of the network?
Yes, as the temperature of a solid increases, the particles gain kinetic energy which can overcome the attractive forces holding them in the fixed position of the network. When the particles gain enough energy, they can break free from the network, leading to a phase change from solid to liquid or gas, depending on the material.
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.
Do gas particles move slower than solid particles?
No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.
How do particles of a solid move?
If the object is completely solid the particles don't move
What phase does dust particles exist in?
Dust particles typically exist in the solid phase, as they are made up of solid particles that can be suspended in the air.
Do particles in a solid move faster than particles in liquid?
No, particles in a solid only vibrate, whereas particles in a liquid are free to move within the liquid.
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.
What are solid particles in gas called?
Solid particles in gas are called aerosols. These are tiny solid or liquid particles suspended in a gas, such as dust, smoke, or mist.
What do particles of a solid do when the solid sublimes?
Sublimation is the conversion from solid directly to gas, so the particles of a solid that sublimes would change into a gas.
