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?

gas particles are not held together and in liquid sthey are not held very tightly.


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.


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.

The greater the speed gas particles in a container the?

The greater the speed of gas particles in a container, the higher the overall average temperature and kinetic energy of the gas particles. And if volume was held constant, higher the pressure.


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


Do gas particles become larger when dry ice changes into carbon dioxide?

The particles change from being tightly held in a solid to being free in the form of a gas; the molecules do not change size.
