No, everything in a liquid is moving.

For that matter everything in a solid is moving too, but most of that movement is just back and forth vibration, so on the average things in a solid don't move very far from their "average location".

What are the factors affecting how fast liquids will mix?

The interplay between the disruptive emotions of particles in a liquid and the attractions among the particles


What happens to the particles of matter when a liquid changes to a gas-?

The particles are no longer fixed by the forces keeping it a liquid


What can particles of a liquid do that the particles of a solid can't do?

The particles of a solid can only vibrate about their fixed positions while the particles of a liquid can vibrate, rotate and translate (move from 1 place to another) within the liquid.


How particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?

As particles change state from solid to liquid, they gain energy that allows them to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions. As heat is added to the system, particles in the solid gain enough energy to break free of their fixed positions and move more freely, resulting in the transition to a liquid state.


How do the particles of a liquid make it possible to pour juice into glass?

The particles of a liquid retain the same volume but are not fixed in place. As they retain the same volume no matter what container they are in, it is possible to pour juice into a glass without the particles dispersing as the particles of a gas would. Because the particles of a liquid are not fixed in place, as in a solid, the liquid can flow and fit itself to the shape of the glass.


What happens to liquid particles as they freeze?

If I am not wrong..this is what I learnt in chemistry. When a liquid is being frozen, the particles of that liquid will lose kinetic energy and slow down, causing them to move closer together. Thus, as the gaps between the particles decrease and the particles themselves get into a fixed position, it becomes a solid & the particles [only] vibrate in their fixed position. =D


Are the particles in a liquid are usually closer together than the particles in a solids?

No, the particles in a solid are usually closer together than the particles in a liquid. In a solid, the particles are tightly packed and have a fixed position, while in a liquid, the particles are more loosely packed and can move around.


Difference between the movement of particles in a solid and in a liquid?

The particles(atoms or molecules solids don't move to much and the particles in liquids always move


What is the arrangement of particles in liquid?

In a liquid, particles are close together but have more freedom of movement than in a solid. The particles in a liquid are constantly moving, sliding past each other, and are not arranged in a fixed pattern like in a solid.


Are liquid particles held in a fixed position?

No, liquid particles are not held in a fixed position. While they are close together and exhibit cohesive forces, they can move and slide past one another, allowing liquids to flow and take the shape of their container. This fluidity is a defining characteristic of liquids, distinguishing them from solids, where particles are fixed in place.


What are the characteristics of the three most familiar states of matter?

Solid: Particles are tightly packed together, have a fixed shape and volume, and vibrate in place. Liquid: Particles are close together but can flow and take the shape of their container, with a fixed volume. Gas: Particles are far apart, move freely, have no fixed shape or volume, and fill the entire container they are in.
