Solids have a structured set of molecules, usually thought of in rows and columns, tightly packed. Liquids are similar to solids but there is much more freedom for the particles, and the vibrations are much more noticeable (relatively).
Gasses have no structured formations, the particles are totally free to roam around the volume the gas is in.
((Unfortunatly the diagrams with 'O's that I created for were changed with silly formatting rules... so you'll have to visualise them yourself.))
When molecules are evenly distributed through a solid, liquid, or gas, we say that the substance is in equilibrium. In a solid, the molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In a liquid or gas, the molecules move freely and randomly.
Molecules move fastest in a gas, then in a liquid, and slowest in a solid. In a gas, molecules have high kinetic energy and move freely, while in a liquid, molecules can slide past each other but are still somewhat restricted. In a solid, molecules have the least amount of kinetic energy and vibrate in fixed positions.
A solid.
A solution can be made with a solid, liquid, and gas because the solute from the solid and gas can dissolve in the liquid solvent to form a homogeneous mixture. The individual particles of the solid and gas mix with the liquid molecules, allowing for the creation of a solution.
The correct order is: gas < liquid < solid. This is because in the gas phase, molecules are far apart and have weak intermolecular forces, in the liquid phase, molecules are closer together with moderate intermolecular forces, and in the solid phase, molecules are tightly packed with strong intermolecular forces.
Solid, liquid, and gas.
When molecules are evenly distributed through a solid, liquid, or gas, we say that the substance is in equilibrium. In a solid, the molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In a liquid or gas, the molecules move freely and randomly.
liquid
It becomes a liquid. solid, liquid, and gas are relative terms defining the movement of molecules, solid moves slow, liquid faster, and gas the fastest. molecules move constantly.
Molecules move fastest in a gas, then in a liquid, and slowest in a solid. In a gas, molecules have high kinetic energy and move freely, while in a liquid, molecules can slide past each other but are still somewhat restricted. In a solid, molecules have the least amount of kinetic energy and vibrate in fixed positions.
gas- the molecules are farther apart since there is more space in the air solid- the molecules are closer together since it is in one specific area Liquid- the molecules can be farther or closer together depending on the volume of the liquid
Only one phase change of the four is possible, that of a liquid to a gas. Increased molecular energy is related to dissociative phase changes : solid to liquid / liquid to gas.
they all contain molecules
A solid.
sound can travel past in solid because the molecules of solid is tightly closed and next liquid the molecules of liquid not so far away to each other and the slower is gas but it can travel longer than solid and liquid because the molecules in gas are far way and can move freely that can travel longer...
yes they are
the force that is holding the molecules together
