Do liquids particles move around so fast that they don't even stay close together?

Liquid particles are loosely packed in the container. They do move around but the particles are bond to each other loosely. So the liquid particles stay together.

Are particles of a gas close together?
No they are the furtherst away out of solids, liquids and gases.
Why are liquids and solids incompressible?
molecular structure
How close are the particles in liquids?
They are not very close.
Are gases are made of particles that are far apart compared with those of liquids and solids?
Usually yes, but the distance between the particles depends on pressure. A gas at high pressure can actually have particles fairly close together.
What is the definition for Packing of Particles?
How close together the molecules (particles) are in a substance/material. Solids are closely packed, liquids are loosely packed, and gas are very loose, freely moving molecules.
Are particles of a gas close together?
No they are the furtherst away out of solids, liquids and gases.
Why liquids are incompressibility?
Liquids are cannot be compressed because the particles are close together and compact- this means that the particles cannot get closer together. Therefore liquids can't be compressed.
Spacing of particles in solids and liquids?
It means that the particles of the liquid are rolling around. Example: Smurfs, they keep together and in the magic land they run around
What happens to the particles when liquids cool?
When liquids cool, the particles tend to tighten up, or get really close together, and slow down.
Why are liquids and solids incompressible?
molecular structure
Are solid particles packed close together?
As compared to liquids or gasses, yes they are.
How close are the particles in liquids?
They are not very close.
Are particles that are close together in gas liquid or solid?
Particle spacing is the closest together in solids. In liquids the spacing is close, however the particles have the freedom of movement. In gas, the particles have lots of kinetic energy, therefore they are far apart.
How do particles behave in a solid?
the atoms move much slower than in liquids, gases, and plasmas.
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.
Which state of matter do particles stay close together yet are able to move past one another?
If the bits of matter are close together and move slowly, the matter is a GAS
Why solids transmit sound better than liquids and gases?
Solids transmit sound and vibration better than liquids and gases because solids' particles molecule's are stuck close together but gas' particles are far off wandering around while liquid's particles are not so close but closer than gas . The best sound/vibration creator is solids then liquids and last gases . Plus to put it in a way that any first grader would say is that a solid is hard so when you bang them together they make an astronomical sound . Its nothing really complex .
