How does a solid turn into a liquid in terms of energy?
The change is endothermic.
What is liquid cooling to solid called?
A liquid cooling into a solid is called freezing or in more scientific terms solidification
What is meant by the terms decantation and filtration?
The larger and heavier solid particles settle down leaving the clear liquid above it. ... At the same time, during decantation, there is a chance of the particles mixing back in the liquid. The filtration technique can be used to overcome this as well. Thus, filtration is better than sedimentation and decantation.
What are terms used to describe rocks with large vs small particles?
Coarse grained.
Explain in terms of atomic particles why S-32 is a stable nuclide?
because it is in band of stability
Explain how solids are terms in particles?
In a solid, the particles are tightly packed and do not move around much, as opposed to a liquid or gas, in which the particles are more spread out.
What is solid in terms of arrangement of particles?
Anything that has particles that are closely packed together. Examples: * A cup * A bowl * A lightbulb * A faucet * A microwave * A shirt
Why does water behave unusually in terms of expansion?
the water particles or molecules line up to become a solid which causes it to expand
Does solid particles have lots of energy?
Relative to liquids and gasses, they have the least amount of energy. In terms of the actual particles themselves, the amount of energy they possess depends on their structure and composition along with the temperature.
How do you describe solids liquids and gases in terms of volume and shapes?
(This Question Can Not Have An Awnser Due To Science Book Copyright! All comments leave to wikiawnsers@awnsers.com! Thanks!)If you pour a liquid in a container or a cup, the liquid takes the shape of the container or cup, and the particles in the liquid ( which is in the container ) only move a little bit, the particles in the liquid is not gas ( which moves everywhere ) even when liquids change shape, they dont change volume. A gas if you put helium in a balloon the particles doesnt really take the shape it makes the shape and the particles of the gas in the cylinder (Helium tank ) are much closer together than the particles of the gas in the balloons. Then a solid, differing arrangements of particles in crystalline solids and amorphous solids lead to different properties. the particles in an amorphous solid do not have an orderly arrangement. the particles in a crystalline solid have a very orderly arrangement.
What describes the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of the motion of particles?
Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly
Compression is the part of medium where are the particles?
In terms of particles, "compression" means that particles move closer together.
Compression is the part of the medium where particles are?
In terms of particles, "compression" means that particles move closer together.
Compression is the part of the medium where particles?
In terms of particles, "compression" means that particles move closer together.
How are terms sublimation and solid related?
Sublimation = solid -> gas.
What is the state of matter with particles vibrating in a fixed position?
Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume but adapts to the shape of its container; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy whatever volume is available.
How do the states of matter differ in terms of motions to their particles?
Gasses will have the fastest moving particles, Liquids will have moderately moving particles, and Solids will have the slowest moving particles.
