Why unlike gases liquids and solids can not be compressed easily?
Intermolecular forces in gases are lower.
What is the classification of solutions?
- Solutions can be saturated or unsaturated. or - Solutions of solids in liquids, solids in solids, liquids in liquids (rarely used the expression gas in gas).
Compare and contrast solids and liquids?
Liquids are easier to manipulate than solids are. Also, liquids generally conform to the shape of the container in which they are placed, while solids do not.
What describes the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of the motion of particles?
Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly
Why solids do not mix well but gases and liquids mix easily in most cases?
Solids have tightly packed atoms so there is no space for the atoms to mingle. But in liquids/ gases, the atoms are more spread out and more free to move hence allowing the atoms to mingle.
Do solids and liquids diffuse at the same rate?
No. The particles in the solids have different mass as the particles in the liqiuds, so they diffuse at the different rate. but if their particles have the same rate, they will diffuse at the same rate.
What is diffusion in liquid and in gas?
Gases the most, then liquids. Solids generally don't diffuse.
What property easily changes in liquids but not in solids?
shape
Gases diffuse most efficiently across what?
Diffusion of gases easily occurs across a membrane. The gases will have to be converted into liquids so as to diffuse easily.
Why are liquids easier to digest than solids?
It is harder to digest solids because you have to chew, then your body has to break everything in the solids down, for when you digest liquids it only has to take out proteins. Vince-liquid is easily digested but solids are not
What is the similarity between the particles of liquids and solids?
not easily compressible
Why convection currents can be set up in liquids and gases but not in solids?
Matter doesn't move easily in solids.
Why do liquids flow easily while solids do not?
The particles in quids are more malleable/ easily shaped, since they aren't as close together as particles in solids.
Do gases are more easily squashed than solids and liquids?
how am i suposed to know
Are Solids are easily compressible?
Solids are not easily compressible because there is little free space between particles. Source: http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/character.html
Why do solids diffuse?
solids can diffuse but not in an easy way because they are to tightly packed together
Why liquids diffuse much faster than solid?
The intermolecular force of attraction between the particles of solid is greater than liquid and due to this minimum space is found between the particles of solid. That's why liquids diffuse much faster than solids.
