No. The spaces between the particles in a gas are much bigger than the particles themselves. The size of a particle does not vary between the states of a substance.

Are particles that are close together in gas liquid or solid?

Particle spacing is the closest together in solids. In liquids the spacing is close, however the particles have the freedom of movement. In gas, the particles have lots of kinetic energy, therefore they are far apart.


Evaporation using particle theory?

The Particle theory maintains that particles move more rapidly as they get more warm. As the continue to heat up, they become less dense and move even more. As this process continues, the particles expand and separate which changes their state from liquid to gas.


What is the particle theory of dissolving?

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.


What is the relationship between changes of state and particle movement?

Solid : The particles are held together and arranged in a regular pattern. They cannot move from one place to another but only vibrate at their own positions. The spaces between them are very little. Liquid : The particles are close together but they can move from one place to another. The spaces between them are little. Gas : The particles are far apart and move freely in all directions.


What happens to a particle in a liquid when heated?

The Particles Vibrate , Causing the liquid to evaporate leaving behind a gas. ! Sophie :)

Closer bonding of particles.


Do particles in Mercury collide with one another?

All particles of all things are in constant motion. Particles in a liquid collide, but the rate is subdued by the viscosity of the liquid.


What kind of particles will be found in a liquid compound which is non-electrolyte?

The kind of particles in a non electrolyte are those that do NOT dissociate or ionize. So, one particle of a non electrolyte remains as 1 particle. If it were an electrolyte it would dissociate into more than 1 particle.


What happens to particles in liquid?

A particle in liquid is like you turning into a teenager. It roams here and there inside the vessel but never leaves it.


How does the particle size of a liquid a solid and a gas compare?

The particle size of a liquid, a solid and a gas will differ in weight and volume. Systems can mean the size of the respective bubbles particles, and droplets.


Does liquid have particle movement?

Well it does. Every substance in any phase, consists of particles that are in constant movement. Sometimes it is a mere oscillation of particles, but sometimes particles move freely. In liquid the majority of particles move around each other, but forces between them, which can be called bonds sometimes, are preventing them from moving around very far.
