What state is it in when the attractions between particles are strong enough to hold the particles in a almost fixed positions?
It is in a solid state.
Are the particles in a solid free to move?
No. According to the Kinetic Particle Theory, the particles in a solid are fixed very close together in fixed positions. They are not free to move and can only vibrate about their fixed positions, due to the strong attractive forces between them. This explains why solids have fixed shapes.
How does particle size effect capillarity?
As long as the spaces between the particles are connected, the smaller the particles, the higher the capillarity. The larger the particles, the lower the capillarity.Particle size and capillarity are inversely, or negatively related.
Can particles always be fixed in place?
It depends on the size of the particle. Very small particles like electrons have an intrinsic uncertainty in either their position ot their energy, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, so could not ever "fixed" in place Larger particles such as molecules always move a little thermal energy, (heat) even at very low temperatures.
Which state of matter where particles are rigidly held in fixed positions?
This is the solid state.
Is it true or false that particles have a fixed size?
False. Theory of Relativity
Solids have a fixed shape and a fixed size. The particles in a solid are close together. .The particles can't be pushed closer together so solids are?
Solids are metals,plastics and logs.
What is it called when particles are in a fixed position but can. Vibrate?
what is a fixed position and vibrate on the spot
Do particles in a solid vibrate around a fixed point?
No, the vibrations depend on how much energy the particles have. If a solid is heated from the left side, the particles on the left will vibrate more than the particles on the right. Solid particles vibrate as each individual particle, not as a group or around a fixed point.
Particles in a solid are what?
Metallic solids are composed of individual atoms.
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 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 is the motion in solid iodine?
The particles vibrate in a fixed position
State of matter in which particles are fixed in a rigid structure?
There are three states of matter, solid, liquid and gas. The state of matter wherein particles are fixed in a rigid structure is solid.
What state is it in when the attractions between particles are strong enough to hold the particles in a almost fixed positions?
It is in a solid state.
How fast to particles move in a solid?
The particles in a solid are fixed,so they vibrate only.Due to their rigidity they are not able break free the intermolecular force of attraction and remain at a fixed point and vibrate continuously.
What happens to a liquids particles when freezed?
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
