What happens to the molecules in a solid when it dissolves?
molecules of a solid break up get's into the space that is in between the liquid molecules
Why are liquid almost incompressible?
Yes. Gases are very compressible because there is a lot of empty space between the molecules. A liquid has almost no empty space between the molecules. When compressing a gas you are pushing the molecules closer together, getting rid of some of the empty space. Can't do that with liquids. Example 18grams of liquid ware will occupy 18 ml or 0.018 Liter of space (volume). Boil that same 18 grams of water and it will occupy about 24000 ml or 24 Liters of space because in the gas form the same number of molecules are farther apart with lots of empty space between them .
When a solid becomes a liquid its molecules are?
locked up in hexagon shaped framework, in three dimensions, small space between these six molecules, giving ice a slighly lower density than liquid water. water molecules are hydrogen bonded together
What is the empty space where gas molecules are not located?
The empty space could be filled with liquid or solid matter.
Why does a certain amount of moles of water occupy much more space as a gas than as a liquid?
Intermolecular forces between the molecules of a gas are not strong enough to hold the gas molecules together therefore they break down taking more space.
Why isn't water denser then ice?
Water is denser than ice.The reason for this is that in liquid water the molecules are disorganized and their is little space between them. In ice the molecules are organized into a hexagonal crystal structure that puts extra space between the molecules.
Why are gases so easily compressible where as it is a almost impossible to compress a solid or liquid?
There is plenty of space between the molecules of a gas but relatively little between those of a solid or liquid.
Why does ice have a difference difference density than liquid water?
It has a different amount of space between molecules.
Why does ice have a difference density than a liquid?
It has a different amount of space between molecules
What does a molecule for solid liquid and gas look like?
In a solid, the molecules are very close and compact with very no space to move around. In a liquid the molecules have little space to move around, and in a gas, the molecules are very spaced out. The gas molecules move around a lot because they have so much space between and around them. Hope this helped..

Why energy is needed to melt ice and how this is explained by the structure of ice and water?
Think about how ice melts into water. By adding heat! Heat is a form of energy, and by adding heat, we can change ice to water. This is explained well by the structures of ice and water. Ice is a solid, and its molecules form rigid networks with space between molecules and are not easily broken. Water is a liquid, and its molecules are constantly moving around one another, leaving little space between molecules. Therefore, when heat energy is added to ice, the rigid bonds between molecules in the ice break, and they are free to move like a liquid.
Why can gases be compressed more than liquids and liquids more than solids?
Gases have the space between their molecules, and so can be compressed the most. Next is liquid which has more space between the molecules than a solid, but not as much space as in a gas. So, it an be compressed also, but not as much as can a gas. And finally, a solid does not have much space between molecules and thus cannot be compressed too much.
Is A Laptop Liquid Solid Or gas?
It is solid as it doesn't flow like a liquid or has vast space between its molecules like gases.
Do molecules move faster in a liquid?
Molecules actually move faster in liquid because they have more space between them to move about. That's why liquid can flow, and a solid cannot. =)
How are liquids and gases different in the amount of space between?
Liquid molecules are very tightly packed while in gas it is loose.
