What happens to particles of matter as they change from a solid to a liquid?
It changes shape.
When a substance changes from a solid to a gas what happens to the speed of the molecules?
The speed doesn't change, it's just that the molecules are free to move around, rather than being restricted to a shape.
What is a non-fluid?
1. (noun) A substance, as a liquid or gas, that is capable of flowing and that changes its shape at a steady rate when acted upon by a force tending to change its shape. 2. (adj.) Pertaining to a substance that easily changes its shape; capable of flowing.
When a substance is in solid state how are the particles arranged?
Depends on the substance, sometimes in crystals, sometimes random, usually a mix. The type (shape) o.f the crystals is often specific for each substance. But once in solid form, the relationship between particles remains fixed.
Is substance that keeps its shape because it's particles can't flow freely because it's a a?
This is one of the key descriptors of a solid.

A substance that keeps its shape because its particles can't flow freely is a or an?
A substance that keeps its definite shape because it cant move freely is called a solid.
What changes the size and shape of a substance but nnot what is made of?
Temperature and pressure
What happens when a liquid becomes a gas (apex)?
It changes shape and volume.
What happens to the characteristics of a substance during a physical change?
The change in characteristics is entirely dependent on how you have physically changed it. However most physical changes effect shape and size.
What substance has particles that are close together but can change shape depending on its container?
ANY substance can do that as long as it is in the liquid phase.

How do the particles of a liquid make it possible to pour juice into gas?
The particles in a liquid are able to move around and changes its shape
Does shape of solids affect the rate of dissolving?
Yes; the dissolution rate is increased when a substance is as small particles.
What is the matter that changes in shape size or type but remains the same substance?
JELLO!
