Which state of matter do particles move very slowly?
a solid has a definite shape and volume.its particles are very close together ,and they do not move very fast.
Why does a solid expands on heating?
The particles in a solid, move very little. But when it is heated, the particles expand because the heat moves the particles around more, making them need more space to move, therefore expanding the solid. =)
Are particles of a solid motionless?
no. only at -273 degrees is everything motionless
Particles in a solid are what?
Metallic solids are composed of individual atoms.
Why doesnt a solid flow?
The particles making up a solid have low kinetic energy and only vibrate in place. The particles cannot move past one another so they do not flow.
How particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?
if its going from a solid to a liquid the particles move FAST. if its going from a liquid to a solid the particles freeze and move VERY slowly.

What are the particles doing solid?
The particles are moving very slowly.
In what state the atoms move the fastest?
Particles in the gaseous state move at a very high rate and have a large effect on each other. Particles on a liquid state move slower but still have a measurable effect on each other. Particles in a solid state move very slowly and have little effect on each other.
True or flase particles in liquid move around just freely as particles in a solid?
Particles in a solid move around very little depending on the material in question however most liquids can move around very freely. Therefore the answer is True.
Why does solid expand on heating?
The particles in a solid, move very little. But when it is heated, the particles expand because the heat moves the particles around more, making them need more space to move, therefore expanding the solid. =)

What do particles in a solid look like?
In a solid the paricles are very close together and vibrate slowly, always staying in one place!
Pure water is an example of?
...Liquid. Everything in the world is a liquid, solid or a gas. In a Solid the particles are very close together and the particles can't move very easily. In a Liquid the particles are a bit more free they are less cramped together. In a Gas there are not many particles so they can move very freely.
Why does a sound wave travels faster in a solid than a gas?
Compressibility: solids have less of it while gases have more. This is related to the density, or a measure of how close the particles involved are. When you put energy into moving a solid, the solid particles adjacent to that canot move very far without either forcing distortion in the particles of the solid or making further movement in the solid. Because distorting a solid is usually a lot harder than simply moving it, the wavefront will move immediately through the solid, and hence travel quicker. But in a gas, the particles are very far apart and not firmly attached. they can move around and be compressed much, much much more easily than in a solid. This means the particles will "bunch up" in pressure peaks, and these peaks will slowly move onto adjacent particles, where they will be again compressed and the whole process continues. Thus, the wavefront moves much more slowly in a gas. Note that if the gas is pressurised a lot, the sound will travel quicker, because the particles are much closer and there is less ability for them to move around each other without transmitting the wave onwards.
Can molecules in a solid move around?
Yes but very slowly and they cannot move very far it looks kinda like this . ... .. .. .. . . .. . .... ... .... ... . . .. . ... ... .. . ... . . . .. . . .. . . . .. . . ..... .. . .. . .. . . . . .. . .. . . ... . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . .. . . .
What do particles do in a plasma?
They move very slowly, and make out with each other and get it on like donkey kong!
