First, the molecules in a liquid are held together by molecular bonds..

The particles move somewhere between the state of a solid (very rigid and ordered.. no movement) and a gas (no arrangement, spread out, fast moving)..

See that liquid particles move and are only locally bound to one another.. The hotter they are, the faster they move.

Explain the changes that have to take place for a substance to go from solid to liquid to gas?

Since particles are tightly packed together solid melts when energy increases. Example: ice SInce particles are fairly close together liquid evaporates/boils when energy increases. Example: Boiling Water. SInce particles have little attraction in gas. It condenses when energy decreases. Liquid solidifies when energy decreases.

What change is taking place when a gas turns to a liquid?

When a gas changes to a liquid or a solid the particles inside become more compact for example steam condences into warter and the particles become more compact but they arn't squished together ho ever in a solid the particles are very squished together. sublimation is what is happening.


Is density particles closely packed together?

No, the particles in a liquid are not held rigidly in place. If they were held rigidly in place, that substance would no longer be a liquid but instead be a solid. A liquid, by definition, has particles that are free to move around each while still being held together by intermolecular or interatomic forces. This is what allows liquids to freely move around and to fill up whatever container they are poured into.

What properties of solid?

The properties of a solid include having a definite shape and definite volume. The particles of a solid are close together, vibrate in place, and have low kinetic energy.

How do the positions and movements of particles in a liquid help to explain the shape and volume of the liquid?

The particles of a liquid move from one place to another although they are close together. Because of this, a liquid changes shape depending on the container they are put in. It does not have a fixed shape. The volume of a liquid is fixed; it can be measured.

What do particles in a solid look like?

In a solid the paricles are very close together and vibrate slowly, always staying in one place!


What can particles of a liquid do that the particles of a solid can't do?

The particles of a solid can only vibrate about their fixed positions while the particles of a liquid can vibrate, rotate and translate (move from 1 place to another) within the liquid.

Why is a liquid able flow?

a liquid is able to flow because its freely moving particles allow liquid to flow from place to place


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.


How a solid liquid and gas differ?

Particles in a solid are packed tightly together, and vibrate, but don't really move around. In liquid, they are fairly close together, but are not arranged in a particular pattern, and slide over and around each other. In a gas, the particles are spread out and in no regular arrangement and move around and vibrate at high speeds. Additionally, particles in a solid move slower than particles in a liquid or gas, particles in a liquid move somewhere in the middle, and gas particles move the fastest of all.


How do the particles of a liquid make it possible to pour juice into glass?

The particles of a liquid retain the same volume but are not fixed in place. As they retain the same volume no matter what container they are in, it is possible to pour juice into a glass without the particles dispersing as the particles of a gas would. Because the particles of a liquid are not fixed in place, as in a solid, the liquid can flow and fit itself to the shape of the glass.


How would you describe the behavior of particles in a solid?

They are close together and vibrate in place, thus they form a solid structure that has a definite shape and volume.


What are the differences between the arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases?

the particle arrangements of a liquid is that the particles and atoms are a bit separated from each other. In a solid, they are closely packed together. In a gas they have no particular particle arrangement and are very far apart.


How do you describe the movement particles in a solid a liquid and a gas?

In a solid particles vibrate and stay in one spot, however due to vibrating, they may move slightly. In liquids, they bounce around in a small area relitvly close to their "spot". In a gas, particles bounce around freely, moving around all of the given space. To relate , a solid's particles are like vibrating cell phone, staying in place. However gas's are like bouncy ball enclosed in a jar
