Particles in a medium that are far apart?
If you are referring to specific particles that are different than the bulk, you are dealing with it being "dilute" or "diffuse" or "dispersed" or "scattered" In low pressure gasses, all particles are comparatively far apart.
Ccompression is the part of the medium where particles are?
Closer together than normal.
What characteristic must a new medium have to cause refraction?
Different density than the first medium.
Why do the particles in ocean water have less energy than the particles in steam?
The particles in steams have more energy because the particles are far apart, move rapidly, and are constantly in motion. Particles in the ocean are not in fixed positions and do not constantly move quickly.
Why speed of sound is more than liquid and gas?
Sound waves need a medium to travel through, and gas particles are spread out way more than liquid particles. This allows the sound to travel faster in more dense objects
How the motion of particles differ in gases liquids and solids.?
The motion of particles in gasses, liquids, and solids are all different. Gas particles can move much more quickly than solids.

Compare particle movement in a solid liquid and gas?
The motion of particles in a solid are much slower than those in the gas. Gaseous particles are very energetic and highly kinetic.

Closer together than normal.
The motion of the particles in Saturn's rings?
Particles in the inner rings orbit Saturn at a faster speed than particles in the outer rings.
Why does diffusion happen when gases are mixed?
diffusion happen because of the motion of the gas particle which they are travelling faster than the particles in solid and liquid and the different atomic mass of the gases
Is random motion a property gas?
Random motion is a property of all particles. Brownian motion, the random redistribution of particles due to individual random motion, is possible in fluids, including gasses, liquids, and plasmas, but not in solids- the structure of solids prevents individual particles from moving out of place until they gain enough energy for their small random movements to break free. The key feature of gasses relating to motion is that the particles have an appreciable amount of space between them and can travel many times farther before encountering another gas particle than is possible in a liquid. This allows the rapid diffusion of different gasses into a homogeneous mixture.
What will be the motion of ring?
The particles in the rings around planets move according to Kepler's Third Law. In other words, the particles closer to the planet move faster than the particles further outside.
What characteristic must a new medium have to cause refraction?
Different density than the first medium.
Why does sound travel faster in solids than in liquids and faster in liquids than in gases?
The velocity at which the mechanical energy of sound moves between the particles of a medium has much to do with the density of the medium. It also has to do with how rigidly the particles of the medium are being held in place. Solids have particles that are very close to each other and are held pretty rigidly in place, so the transfer of energy will occur rapidly. In liquids, however, the particles are farther apart and not held as rigidly in place, and in gasses this is even more pronounced. This increase in particle spacing and in the rigidity of the material from medium to medium results in the slower transfer of energy from one particle to another.
The portion of a sound wave where the particles of the medium are pressed together is called?
The region of compression is where all the particles of the medium are closer to each other than usual. In a sound wave that usually means that the pressure in that area of compression is slightly greater than the mean pressure of the material in which the sound wave is traveling.
What explains particle motion?
There are many kinds of particles and many kinds of motion, so there is more than one answer to that question. In many cases, particle motion is explained by Newtonian mechanics. In other cases, you would need quantum mechanics or Einstein's theory of relativity, or the Maxwell equations if the particles are photons.
