No, but if the system is at equilibrium the speeds of all the molecules (assuming an ideal liquid) will be characterized by a Boltzman distribution.

Which has the most energy particles in steam particles in liquid water particles in ice or particles in freezing water?

Steam has the most energy as its particles are in the gaseous state and move faster than particles in liquid water or ice, which are in the solid or liquid state respectively. Freezing water has a similar amount of energy as liquid water since they are at the same temperature.


Are the particles in a liquid all the same?

If you mean the smallest particle of water that has the properties of water, then yes, water particles are molecules.


What happens to an ice cubes particles when the ice cube is melting does the weight remains the same?

As the ice cube is solid , the particles are tightly packed together but as it melts it changes to a liquid so the particles change so that they are like particles in a liquid. the mass is conserved ( stays the same)


Are gas liquid and solid particles the same weight?

No, gas, liquid, and solid particles do not have the same weight. The weight of a particle is dependent on its mass, gravity acting upon it, and its volume. Gas particles have the least weight as they are highly spread out, while solid particles have higher weight due to their compact structure.


Why do liquids change their shape but keep volume?

Because the molecules within a liquid are arranged in such a way that they can freely move around. This means that unlike a solid, a liquid can continuously change shape. A liquid has a fixed size because its volume remains constant; no matter what shape it is in, assuming that no more liquid has been added or taken away, there are always the same number of molecules.

Which particles have the least kinetic energy a solid particles b liquid particles c gas particles?

Solid particles have the least kinetic energy, followed by liquid particles, and then gas particles. In solids, particles vibrate in fixed positions with minimal movement, while in liquids, particles have more energy and can move around each other. Gas particles have the highest kinetic energy, as they move rapidly and have more freedom of motion.


How are liquid particles gas particles and ice particles the same?

They are all made of matter; just in different states.


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.

Do larger particles move faster than smaller ones?

because they have a larger mass and require a greater energy to move at the same speed. KE=1/2mv2 where m is mass, v is velocity and KE is kinetic energy so for the same energy if the mass is doubled then v2 is halved, resulting in a slower speed

What keeps particles of a liquid from spreading out to fill an entire container in the same way that gas particles do?

Surface tension.

Does the particle's size make the particle movement go slow or fast?

Well, if in a gas you have a mixture of heavier and lighter particles (atoms or molecules, really), the lighter particles will tend to move faster than the heavier particles. The general tendency is for any such particle to have the same energy (mainly kinetic energy). Similarly, in a liquid solution, lighter particles will tend to move faster.


Do particles of solid have less energy than particles of a gas?

No,they don't because when the particles in gas ovecome the force of attraction they move more freely making the particles have more energy. Solid particles are tightly packed with a strong force of attraction making them have the least amount of energy compared to the other states(liquid and gas).
