particles in a gas- are all spread out, so NOT 1 of the particles are touching.
particles in a liquid - some of the particles are touching and some of them are on their own.
gas- . . . . . . . . . .

liquid- .. . .. .. .. . .

just to help some more:
the particles in a solid- are all touching, so EVERY single 1 of the particles is touching another.

Difference between particles of a gas and a of liquids?
compared particles of gas and particles of liquids gas particles can take any shape, but does not have a definte volume.
What are similarities between liquids gases and solids?
They all have Particles.
What solids made of?
Particles. Just like liquids and gases. The difference between them is that solids have tighter packed particles that are less able to move freely
Is there space between the particles of gas?
Particles of gas have the largest space out of solids and liquids
Why are gases more compressible than liquids?
With gases, there is already a lot of space in between the particles. Therefore, the particles can be pushed more closely together than in liquids, since the particles in liquids are already much closer together.
Do liquids have closely packed particles in fixed positions?
Simply put, no. Liquids have particles that can move around somewhat, this is because they have more energy than, say, a solid in which its particles only slightly vibrate. The space between the particles of liquids is more than in solids but less than in gases.
What is the similarity between the particles of liquids and solids?
not easily compressible
How do the motions of the particles different between state of matter?
In gases, the particles move around fastest and with space in between. In liquids, the particles slide past one another. In solids, they vibrate a bit.
What do gases have that solids and liquids don't have?
big spaces between the particles???
Why do solids heat up faster than liquids?
Solids are more compact than liquids. The particles of a solid are closer together. Since heat is the kinetic force between particles, the closer those particles are the easier it is to excite them.
Do liquids have electrically charged particles?
Yes, some liquids have electrically charged particles, such as salt water.
Why can't liquids be heaped like solids?
because the force of attraction between the molecules of solid is quite high. because in solids the particles are compressed together. there isn't much space between these particles. however in liquids the space between particles is more and hence it can move more freely.:)
What factors help determine the physical properties of liquids?
The interplay between the disruptive emotions of particles in a liquid and the attractions among the particles
Difference in the particles in solids versus liquids and gases?
Solids are more closely packed.
What is the difference between gas diffusion and effusion?
diffusion in gases is more faster than the diffusion in liquids because the particles are more far apart in gases than in liquids.
What has to be overcome for a solid to change to a liquid and a liquid to a gas?
The energy between particles. The particles must be heated so that there is no forces of attraction, therefore the solids particles can loosen into liquid particles and the liquids particles can loosen into gas, the heat energy is used to make the particles move faster
How do solid and liquids behave differently?
because of their particles solids the particles are packed close together so that they hardly to move . an liquids the particles move around a little
How are solids liquids and gases particles different?
solids are packed tightly together with no gaps liquids are joined together in groups of about three particles and there are noticeable gaps between each group and gases are separate particles which just bounce around randomly.
Are liquids and solids particles heavier than gas particles?
santa's my hero
Why do gases behave differently than solids and liquids?
Unlike the particles that make up solids and liquids, gas particles have a large amount of empty space between them. The space that gas particles occupy is the gas's volume, which can change because of temperature and pressure.
Do solids usually conduct heat better than liquids and gases?
The particles of solids have almost negligible space between them therefore they conduct heat and energy faster than liquids and gases as their particles have some space between them.
What is the big idea of particles?
Particles are microscopic and explain the properties of liquids, solids, and gases. The strength of the bonds between particles is different in each state. In digestion, the chunks of foods we eat must be broken down into particles to be used by the body.
