Why liquid particles did not join to the solid particle?
liquid particles do not join the solid particles because the particles of solid are very tightly packed but this is not in the case of liquid
Separates solid particles from the liquid by forcing the liquid through a membrane?
Liquid solid is the solid particles from the liquid. This goes through to the membrane.
How are the particls of a liquid different from the particles of a solid?
The particles of a liquid are not attached to each other. The particles of a solid are.
How are the particles of a liquid different from the particles of a solid?
The particles of a solid are close together and the particles of a liquid are slightly farther apart.
Do particles in a solid move faster than particles in liquid?
No, particles in a solid only vibrate, whereas particles in a liquid are free to move within the liquid.
What Separates solid particles from the liquid by forcing the liquid through a membrane?
Liquid solid is the particles from the liquid. This is when the liquid goes through the membrane.
How particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?
if its going from a solid to a liquid the particles move FAST. if its going from a liquid to a solid the particles freeze and move VERY slowly.
Particles in a liquid move around just as freely as particles in a solid?
Particles in a liquid move much faster and more freely than particles in a solid. The kinetic energy possessed by liquid particles is higher compared to solid particles.
What is a mixing of particles in a gas or liquid called?
Solid particles dispersed in a gas: aerosols Solid particles dispersed in a liquid: suspension
How are liquid particles arranged compared to solid particles?
Liquid particles can nove around more than Solid particles they are in rows and have very strong bonds Liquid particles can nove around more than Solid particles they are in rows and have very strong bonds
What can the particles of a liquid do that the particles of a solid can't do?
The particles of a solid can only vibrate about their fixed positions while the particles of a liquid can vibrate, rotate and translate (move from 1 place to another) within the liquid.
What are liquid drops or solid particles spread through gas?
A colloidal suspension of solid or liquid particles in a gaseous medium.
Is a yogurt a liquid or a solid?
liquid - the particles are not fixed
When a solid moves to a liquid state the particles move more slowly?
Particles in a solid don't move at all, particles in a liquid move, particles in a gas move quickly
What is the liquid that has solid particles?
A suspension.

How is a liquid different form a solid?
In a liquid, the particles are free to move around, while in a solid the particles are tightly packed and will not move.
Is solid a liquid or gas?
A solid is a solid. It is neither liquid nor a gas.
How fast do particles move when changing from a solid to liquid?
When a substance undergoes a state change from a solid to a liquid, the speed of the particles increases. In a solid, particles are orderly arranged and considerably fixed in position. In a liquid, the particles slide past one another at a greater speed.
Why paints are colloids?
the solid particles in these colloids are mixed with the particles of a liquid. the dispersed particles do not dissolve into the liquid therefore the particles do not settle.
What are the solid and liquid particles of the blood?
the solid particles of the blood are vesels,nerves,bones.the liquid particles are the plasma,white blood cells,and red blood cells.
Why are vesicles in pinocytosis smaller then those in phagocytosis?
Because phagocytosis in the endocytosis on solid particles, while pinocytocis is the endocytosis of liquid particles. Liquid particles can be compacted into smaller vesicles then solid particles.
How does the particle theory explain how a solute dissolves in a solvent?
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.
