Why are things solid?
Things are solid because their atoms and molecules are closely packed together, creating a rigid structure that resists changing shape. This tight arrangement allows for the forces between the particles to keep them in place, giving the object its solid form.
Why a pencil is a solid?
if it wasent it would be loose
Matter is made of tiny particles and these particles are always moving then why do objects such as a table a cup not move?
There are three types of matter; solid matter, liquid matter and gas matter. They are all made up of particles which are the building blocks of matter. Particles in a Gas matter are randomly separated, they are a bit far apart form each other, so they are able to move around efficiently. Particles in liquid matter are less separated from each other, they are closer to each, so there degree of mobility is limited. Particles in solid matter are packed close together and rigity and immobile. A table and a cup and objects of the types are solid matter so they are unable to move around.
What is the force of attraction between the particles in a liquid?
The force of attraction between particles in a liquid is weaker than in a solid but stronger than in a gas. It is mainly due to intermolecular forces such as van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding, and dipole-dipole interactions. These forces help keep the particles close together while still allowing them to move past each other, giving liquids their fluidity.
Does a solid need a container to keep its shape?
liquid take shape of the container because the liquid particles stay together but they still more around. solid does not take the shape of the container, because solid is solid. The molecules cannot form the of the container because the molecules a very near each other.Only liquid can take the shape of the container. Thank you.
Do forces between particles in a solid keep them from position?
Yes.. The forces of attraction
Why does a solid hold its shape without a container?
A solid holds its shape due to the strong intermolecular forces between its particles. These forces keep the particles close together in a fixed arrangement, preventing them from moving around freely and causing the solid to maintain its shape.
Is it true or false that forces between particles in a solid keep them from changing position?
True, the forces between particles in a solid, such as intermolecular forces or atomic bonding, help to hold the particles in a fixed position relative to each other, preventing them from changing position easily without external force.
what do we need to add to break the attractive forces between the particles of a solid?
keep them from position is a inter molecular bond
What state is it in when the attractions between particles are strong enough to hold the particles in a almost fixed positions?
Solid state. This is when the intermolecular forces are strong enough to keep particles closely packed in a fixed arrangement.
Why the particales in solids are tightly packed?
Because only the particles are packed together like that the solid can have define shape and volume. If they not packed together that are liquid.So we can use this point (the particles are packed together) to know what is that? Solid, Liquid or Gas. ---- The particles of a solid are packed tightly together, the particles of a liquid can move around but are still touching each other, and the particles in a gas are free to wizz around.
What happens to the particles in a solid when it dissolved?
The particles in the solid (solute) break apart and form links with the particles in the liquid (solvent). There are strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solute. These forces keep the particles together and make the solute a solid because they attract the solute particles tightly together. There are also strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solvent. These forces keep the particles together and make the solvent a liquid because they attract the solvent particles slightly together. There is also an attractive force between the solute and solvent particles. To break these forces and from a bond between the solute and solvent particles energy is needed. This energy is gained from heat (the process of dissolving is speeded up through heat.) In conclusion, the particles in a solute break apart of their attractive forces and form bonds with the solvent particles through the attraction between the solute and solvent particles and through the energy gained by heat.
Why does solid keep its shape?
The energy the particles contain is not enough to break the intermolecular or interatomic forces holding the solid in its place. They can vibrate to a certain degree, but cannot move freely like a liquid or gas.
Why does a solid have an definite shape?
By definition - that's what makes it a solid.At the atomic or molecular level, the forces between particles (atoms or molecules) are strong enough to keep them in place.
What keeps particles together in a solid and liquid?
Solids do not flow. The particles in a solid cannot change places so a solid will keep its shape (unless it is broken).
What natural forces keep water moving?
gravity
Why are things solid?
Things are solid because their atoms and molecules are closely packed together, creating a rigid structure that resists changing shape. This tight arrangement allows for the forces between the particles to keep them in place, giving the object its solid form.
