Particles in a solid are tightly-packed, so there is no movement at all, therefore no space.
What else can I help you with?
In which material would the particles most closely spaced?
a solid and a 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

What is the difference between the particles in a solid and the particles in a gas?
In a solid, particles are tightly packed together in a fixed arrangement, vibrating in place. In a gas, particles are widely spaced apart and move freely in random directions at high speeds.
Are the particles in a gas spaced further apart or closer than the particles of a solid?
The particles in a gas are spaced further apart than the particles in a solid. In solids, particles are tightly packed in a fixed arrangement, allowing them to vibrate in place. In contrast, gas particles are much more spread out and move freely, which allows them to fill the entire volume of their container. This difference in spacing contributes to the distinct properties of solids and gases.
For most substances the distance between particles is smallest when the substance?
For most substances, the distance between particles is smallest when the substance is in its solid state. In a solid, particles are densely packed and held closely together by strong intermolecular forces, resulting in a smaller distance between particles compared to liquids or gases where particles are more spaced out.
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.
What happens to the particles that make up a solid if enough heat is added to melt it?
When enough heat is added to a solid, the particles gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position. As a result, the particles move more freely and the solid melts into a liquid.
Which conducts sound better air or solid?
Solid's because their particles are more closely spaced so the transfer of energy will be greater. Air's particles are more spaced so it takes more time for the particles to contact one another therefore the sound energy is transferred slower.
Why are the particles in a liquid spaced out?
Particles in a liquid are spaced out because they have enough energy to move around and flow past one another, but not enough energy to escape the attractive forces holding them together. This results in particles being close enough to interact with one another while still retaining some degree of mobility.
What is changes in solid liquid and gas?
The change between solid, liquid and gas is known as a change of state and is affected by the substance and its temperature. E.g. at room temperature water is liquid but a 0oc it becomes ice, a solid.
What part of a compressional wave are the particles spaced farthest part?
In a compressional wave, the particles are spaced farthest apart at the points of maximum rarefaction where the wave is at its trough. This is when the pressure is at its lowest and the particles are more spread out.
