Closely packed ,tightly packed
In a solid, particles are closely packed together, with a fixed distance between them. This distance is very small, allowing particles to vibrate around their fixed positions. The distance between particles in a solid is typically on the order of a few angstroms or nanometers.
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.
the distance between the particles and the average kinetic movement of the particles.
The distance between particles is often referred to as interparticle distance. This term describes the space separating particles in a system, such as atoms in a solid, molecules in a liquid, or ions in a gas. Interparticle distance can influence various physical properties, including density, temperature, and phase behavior.
The distance between particles
On heating, particles within a solid gain kinetic energy, causing them to vibrate faster and increase the distance between each other. This leads to an expansion in the solid's volume and an increase in its temperature.
A solid is supplied with heat energy, causing its particles to gain kinetic energy. As the temperature increases, the particles vibrate more vigorously, leading to an increase in their average distance from one another. Eventually, if enough energy is supplied, the solid may transition to a liquid state, where the particles have more freedom to move while still being closely packed.
The Bohr radius, is the estimated distance between protons in the nucleus and electrons - but electrons aren't solid, stationary particles... The simple answer would be about one-twentieth of a nanometre. But this would only be reasonable if the electron were a solid particle.
The molar enthalpy of fusion is a measure of the energy required to break the intermolecular forces holding the particles together in a solid. A higher enthalpy of fusion indicates stronger intermolecular forces between particles, which suggests a stronger attraction between the solid's particles.
A solid has little free space between particles.
The bonds between solid particles are weakened.
There are strong forces of attraction between particles in a solid.
