NO! gas particles move around freely and zoom all over the place. ice is made of rigid particles which is why it is a solid. a liquid is made up of s l o w l y moving particles, which is why it can move freely.

Are gas particles held more tightly than liquid particles?

No, gas particles are not held more tightly than liquid particles. In a gas, particles have more kinetic energy and are free to move around more compared to the relatively closer and more ordered arrangement of particles in a liquid.


What state of matter are held tightly in place by other particles?

The state of matter that is held tightly in place is in the form of a solid. Gas particles are not tightly packed, unless they are being pressurized, same with water.


Liquid held between particles of a solid?

Gas? (:


Why gas is considered as fluid?

"Fluids" are substances whose particles are not rigidly attached to each other. Thus, they can flow.


In which state particles held together but may move?

Particles may be held together in a solid state, where they maintain a fixed position in a regular arrangement but may still vibrate in place.


Is it true that particles of a compound are most strongly held together when it is the state of a gas?

No. The particles are held strongly in the case of solid and least in the case of gases.


Compare the average motion of the particles in the three containers?

The average motion of particles will be highest in the gas container, as particles in a gas have the most kinetic energy and move freely in all directions. In a liquid, particles have less kinetic energy compared to gas but are still able to move around each other. In a solid, particles have the least amount of kinetic energy and are held in fixed positions, vibrating in place.


What process takes place when the average energy of a gas's particles decreases?

What process takes place when the average energy of a gas, s particles decreases


What process takes place when the average energy of gas particles decrease?

What process takes place when the average energy of a gas, s particles decreases


Why can the particles of gas change and the particles of solids not?

The particles of gas have more energy and are less tightly packed than particles in solids. This allows gas particles to move freely and change position easily, while solid particles are held in a fixed position by strong intermolecular forces.


Differences between gas liquid and solids?

gas-energetic molecules that randomly move, free from meach other liquid- cohesive force stronger than gas, can move, but cannot separate from the rest of the molecules solid- molecules held firmly in place, particles can only vibrate in place


How are the particles in a solid liquids and a gas different?

The particles in a gas move faster and are full of energy. However the particles in a solid do not have as much energy and vibrate in place -Baarkullah Awan
