When a solid dissolves, the solid (solute) and the liquid (solvent) will form solution.
When a solid dissolves on mixing, its particles will break apart hence forming loose associations with the liquid particles.
This random mixing of particles from both solid and liquid that is called dissolving process.
A solid will not dissolve in a liquid if its particles are unable to form these association with the respective liquid particles.
This is a reversible process. Solute can be obtained back by evaporation etc.

∙ 13y agoYou can use the particle theory to help explain what happens when solutes dissolve. The particle theory states that there are spaces between all particles. This means that, in a sample of water, there are many water particles, but also many empty spaces. When you look at sugar. The sugar dissolves, the sugar particles separate and mix with the water particles.

∙ 14y agoWell, if you've got litte particles moving around with lots of Kinetic Energy, then you've got a catalyst for dissolving.. but if you increase the pressure in a liquid (incompressible) you speed em up.. thus more dissolving... and why you might have been told "don't take the lid off the crock-pot!!" If you're dealing with gas (compressible), pressure increase lowers the Kinetic E, decreasing dissolving, because there isn't as much room for the particles to play bumper boat with each other.

∙ 13y agoThe particle theory states that there are spaces between all particles. This means that, in a glass of water, there are many water particles but also many empty spaces. The same is true in a cup of sugar. When you look at sugar, you can see many crystals of sugar. Each sugar crystal contains enormous numbers of invisible sugar particles. When sugar dissolves, the sugar particles separate and mix with the water particles.
You can draw a diagram showing a model of sugar particles dissolving in water particles. As the sugar particles separate, the smaller water particles fit into the spaces between the larger sugar particles. The water and sugar particles are attracted to each other so they move closer together when they are mixed. This is why the total volume is often slightly less than the volumes of the two separate components.

∙ 11y agothe particle attraction
ex. if you had water and sugar it would be : the water particles are more attracted to the sugar particles then the sugar particles are to the sugar particles

How are dissolving and particle attraction connected?
It seems to be electromagnetic frequencies.
Is the emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom a wave or particle theory?
wave theory of light
What is the idea that everything is made of small particles?
Particle theory, as opposed to string theory.
Scientists extrapolate backwards in time to derive?
the big bang theory
What are the three parts of the particle theory?
There are 4 states of matter in the particle theory but only 3 are taught at keystage 3 and 4 in UK schools (high school level in the US).These three are Solid, Liquid and Gas.The fourth state of matter is plasma.
How does the kinetic particle theory affect the stirring in dissolving?
Stirring amps up the speed and frequency at which particls collide.. or, in other words, the kinetic energy is increased by stirring, which ultimately speeds up the dissolving process
What is the name for the particle theory?
Particle Theory is its name.

Is the emission of electromagnetic radiation by an excited atom a wave or particle theory?
wave theory of light
What physicist was the chief architect of the particle theory of light?
It was Max Planck who used the particle theory of light.
Suppose you were dissolving a metal such as zinc with hcl. How would the particle size of the zinc affect the rate of its dissolution?
The bigger the particle the lesser the dissolution.
Discovery of particle theory of light?
Pierre Gassendi (1592-1655), an atomist, proposed a particle theory of light.
Why is the particle theory named as such?
it is the theory of how all particles are joined.
What is the particle theory of matter for water boiling?
what is theory of matter ?
Use the particle theory of matter to explain why icing sugar dissolves more rapidly than granular sugar?
greater surface are to volume ratio for a start which leads to faster dissolving particule theory: more collisions. there are more small pieces of sugar to collide in icing than granular
Particle theory of matter say about?
The Particle Theory has 4 laws:1) All matter is composed of particles2) These particles have spaces between them3) These particles are always moving4) Particles are attracted to each otherThe theory is used to explain how every day things work. For example dissolving can be explained as the particles are simply rearranging themselves to fit between other particles.*Note the word theory in the title, it is there for a reason. This is purely hypothetical and has not been proven... yet.*Also particles have also been referred to as molecules.
