Does matter exists as particles that move independently of one another regardless of what that state they are in?

No, in may states of matter the movement of particles is largely restricted.


Why does gravity cause gases and dust particles to condense spheres form stars?

The individual particles attract one another. Under certain circumstances, this can overcome the gas pressure - especially when large amounts of gas are involved.


Why does a wave move toward the shore but the leaf floating on the surface of the water does not?

Because the water particles are bumping into each other. One his another, and pushes it forward. The water particles are really barely moving. If the particles actually moved with the wave, then all the water in the oceans would be piled up on the coast lines, in theory. Its like a human wave at a football game... The particles (or people) are making a chain reaction.The wave propagates through the water; the water itself has no lateral movement. The movement of the water in a wave is almost entirely up and down.


Why is there no such thing as sucking?

Because the "sucking" is actually pushing. For example. When there is an area of low pressure, air appears to get sucked into it, but actually it is being pushed by the air behind it. This is because air particles are in motion, and therefore posses energy. Some have more and some have less energy, but there is always a net. Most of this energy is kinetic energy, and the amount of particles dictate how many collisions there are between particles, and in the collisions particles move until they hit another particle. So, if there are less particles in the low pressure area to collide with, particles end up staying there longer than in the higher pressure area until equilibrium is reached. So, in effect the air particles are pushing other air particles to an area where they aren't being pushed.


What are indistinguishable particles?

Indistinguishable particles are particles that are so similar or identical that they can not be distinguished from another. Electrons and sometimes atoms and molecules can be indistinguishable particles.

A common kind of mecnanical weathering is called?

A common kind of mechanical weathering is called erosion. It refers to the loosening up of rock particles as well as the movement of these particles to another location.


Why does diffusion occur in liquids and gases?

Diffusion, the passive movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Particles like to move! Because they like to move, they want to spread out as much as possible. Diffusion happens because the particles want to spread into the remaining fluid, (liquid and gas) to an area of low concentration. Another way of thinking, when you spray deodorant, because of the initial pressure that pushes all of the particles out of the can, they spread out in all directions.
