Matter can exist in three states: solid, liquid?æ or gases. In solid, particles are two close to each other. In liquid,they are a bit a part while in?æ gases they are very far apart .

yes, but not as far apart as a gas and not as tightly packed as a solid!

They move slower than gas particles, and they are fairly spaced out (but less than gas particles). The particles will slow down as temperatures decrease, and the opposite is true, too.

They have more space then solid particles and less space then gas particles due to the amount of the vibrations that make them push against each other. The vibrations are caused by heat.

Well they are closer than those of gas, but further than those of a solid.

In which material would the particles most closely spaced?

a solid and a liquid


What is it called when particles move randomly and are well spaced out?

Particles are close but disorganized will change from gaseous state to liquid form. Once in liquid form the particles will spread out.


What happens to the particles that make up a solid if enough heat is added to melt it?

The particles begin to separate. If it turns into a gas, the particles will be more spaced out. Rather to a liquid.


What is the gaseous state of substance that is normally a liquid or a liquid or a solid?

When a substance is in its gas phase, the particles are taking up as much room as they possibly can and are moving at a very high rate. They collide with each other frequently and are full of energy. The particles are also very spaced out, unlike the liquid and solid phases.


How would you draw particles arrangement of each state of matter?

Well, for a solid, you would draw the particles close together and touching so that none of them could be moved around. For a gas you would draw them very spaced apart with none touching, and for a liquid you would draw them some where in the middle with some touching and some spaced out.

How are particles spaced in a solid?

Particles in a solid are tightly-packed, so there is no movement at all, therefore no space.


What effect does adding heat have on particles?

Heat makes the particles more spaced out and make it move everywhere


When a load was added to the piston the volume of the liquid did not change but the volume of the air decreased Explain why this happened?

The particles in a liquid are very close together, so an increase in pressure cannot push them any closer. The particles in a gas are widely spaced, so they can easily be forced closer together. Gases are compressible, liquids are not.


How do the particles of the liquid move?

the particles in liquid move around slowly in the liquid


Why does sound travel best in a solid?

sound is the vibration of air particles. but think about how far all the air particles are spaced from each other. now think of how close the solid's particles are spaced to one another. more particles will vibrate and so sound travels better


Why does sound travels best in solid?

sound is the vibration of air particles. but think about how far all the air particles are spaced from each other. now think of how close the solid's particles are spaced to one another. more particles will vibrate and so sound travels better
