How does the spacing of molecules compare in solids liquids and gases?
Solid- Close together Liquid- Bit farther apart Gas- Far apart
Why can you not compress a liquid?
The particles in a liquid are close together. In a solid the particles are tightly packed together so you cannot compress them at all. The particles in a gas are far apart, so when they are compressed the volume of the gas reduces. The bonds in a liquid are not as close as those in a solid but they are still too close for compression.
What matter has particles that are far apart?
Rarefactions
How close are the particles in gases?
They are very far apart.
Are molecule particles far apart?
it depends whenever it is a solid, liquid or gas
How does the spacing of molecules compare in solids liquids and gases?
Solid- Close together Liquid- Bit farther apart Gas- Far apart
High in the atmosphere are the particles close or far apart?
Far apart.
Which state of matter has particles that are close together but able to slide past each other?
That would be liquid because in a solid, they are stuck and in a gas, they are far apart but in a liquid the particles move around but are still close together.
How are liquids and solids different from each other?
Liquid molecules are spread out. Solid molecules are close together. And gas molecules are far apart.
What are different in solid liquid and gases?
The particles of solids are very close and tight and are organised. The particles of liquids are randomly organised and are further apart. The molecules in gases are really far apart.
Why can you not compress a liquid?
The particles in a liquid are close together. In a solid the particles are tightly packed together so you cannot compress them at all. The particles in a gas are far apart, so when they are compressed the volume of the gas reduces. The bonds in a liquid are not as close as those in a solid but they are still too close for compression.
What decides whether material solid or a gas?
The space between the molecules/atoms determines whether material is a solid or a gas. If they are very far apart, the matter is a gas. If they are not very far apart, the matter is a liquid. If they are close, it is a solid.
Why does liquid compress much less than a gas does?
This is due to the fact that the particles of the liquid are close together and have a definite volume, whereas the particles of the gas are far apart and do not have a definite volume.
Are the atoms in liquid far apart?
No they are bonded together.
What matter has particles that are far apart?
Rarefactions
Would a steep slope on a topographical map have lines close together or far apart?
they have to be close together if they are far apart it means it is a flat area
How close are the particles in gases?
They are very far apart.
