Because they don't have enough energy to make the phase shift from liquid to gas. They don't have enough energy to break their INTERmolecular bonds enough to become a gas. They move around in what are called random walks and vibrate, just bumping into each other occasionally like you would people in a crowd. They don't have the energy to stat pushing and shoving violently enough to make the crowd separate far apart like you'd see in a mosh pit. Move space exists in a mosh pit than in a gentl crowd.

Are the particles in a solid moving or still?

Technically, all particles in a Solid, Liquid, or Gas are moving. But a gas moves the fastest, liquid fast, but not as fast as gas, and solid moves the slowest.


Compared to the particles in a hardened lava sample the particles in a liquid lava sample?

Have less kinetic energy


How does gas different from liquid?

A gas is different because the particles are moving at a much higher rate than the ones in a liquid. Liquid particles are able to slide past each other while gas particles move around with ALMOST no attraction whatsoever.


What is the theoretical background of evaporation?

Substances (such as water) are composed of small particles, which are atoms or molecules. In a liquid these particles are relatively close together, and they are held together by a mutual attraction. However, if any given particle is moving quickly enough, and it is moving toward the surface of the liquid, it can escape from the attraction of the liquid and enter the air as an independently moving particle, at which point is has turned into vapor and thus has evaporated. The speed with which particles move is measured as temperature. Hot substances have faster moving particles. Thus, as you heat a given substance, it evaporates faster. When a liquid boils, it is turning into a gas even in its interior, rather than just at the surface.


Molecule of a substance are in a motion?

Molecules of a substance are in constant motion. Whether you have a solid, liquid, or gas, the particles are moving (but the speed and amount they move differs). Particles of a solid move the least (they basically vibrate), particles of a liquid can flow around one another, and particles of a gas have a lot of space between them because they move in random, constant motions.

At the feezing point the liquid become a solid.Freezing is a physical change.


Does gas have fast moving particles?

yes. gas has the fastest moving particles and a solid has the slowest moving particles and particles in a liquid are moving faster than solid particles but not as fast as gas particles.


What causes the particles in a solid vibrate?

a wavelength can be add to a sound particle that couses a high vibration.particles are always moving and this means no matter if it's a solid, liquid, or gas, it will always have particles moving. Particles in a soild only vibrate because they have less kinetic energy.


What happens to the particles in a liquid when it boils?

The liquid will turn into a gas so the particles are gonna be moving around freely.


What happen when a solid dififusion in a liquid?

Are you talking about the change of state...if you are I can answere it..since the particles are so compact and tight they don't move and when energy comes in and the particles become active and moving freely called melting and into a liquid


What do you know for certain about the particles that make a very hot liquid?

The particles are moving very fast because the higher the temperature , the faster the particles are moving.


What do you know for certain about particles that make up a very hot liquid?

The particles are moving very fast because the higher the temperature , the faster the particles are moving.

Do forces in a solid keep the particles from moving?

no it does not but the particles move slower then it would if it is a liquid, or a gas.


What is the relationship between the amount of space between particles and the state of matter?

the particles go with the state of matter in slid liquid and gas each one of the states of matter have particles. gases particles are always moving around example water vapor..solids particles are stuck in place but viberate and liquid is pretty much the same as gas
