Solids are held together but different types of intermolecular forces. The nature of these forces depends on the compound. In nonpolar substances, only dispersion forces at work. In polar compounds, dipole-dipole forces also hold the molecules together. Since dipole-dipole forces are stronger than dispersion forces, polar compounds usually have a higher melting point than nonpolar ones.

The strongest attraction between particles exists in which of these states of matter?
This is a solid.
Why does diffusion happen in gases and liquids but not in solids?
the force of attraction between the particles gases is weak force of attraction between the particles in liquid is a bit strong force of attraction between the particles in solid is strongest this is the right answers,,,,,dont worry :)
Why do solids have definite shape?
Solid have definite shape because the particles of solid are closely packed together and they cannot move freely. Therefore the force of attraction of particles in solid is more.
Solids that are powdered-do they always go to the bottom of container?
No. Watch what happens with talcum powder. When the particles between the solid are more cohesive than the attraction to water molecules, they will not be "wetted" and remain floating.
Differentiate the physical changes among the 3 phases or states of matter?
characterstics solid liquids gases 1) shape fixed not fixed not fixed 2)tnterparticle space least more than solid more than liquid 3)volume fixed fixed not fixed 4)density maximum less than solid less than liquid 5)compressiblity neglibile more than solid maximum 6)diffusion slow moderate fast 7)fluidity cannot flow flow flow
Are there strong forces of attractions between particles in a solid?
There are strong forces of attraction between particles in a solid.
Which phase of matter has the strongest attraction between the particles?
solid
Do forces between particles in a solid keep them from position?
Yes.. The forces of attraction
The strongest attraction between particles exists in which of these states of matter?
This is a solid.
The individual particles in an ionic solid are held together as a result?
The individual particles in an ionic solid are held together as a result of electrostatic attraction between the positively charged cations and the negatively charged anions.
What force of attraction limits the motion of particles in what?
Forces of attraction limit the motion of particles most in a solid. A solid that forms and separates from a liquid mixture is a precipitate.
What is an attraction between particles of the same substance called?
An attraction between particles of the SAME substance is called cohesion.
Is the attraction between steel particles stronger than the attraction between copper particles?
yes
How does matter go from a solid to a liquid?
particles of solid gain energy from the higher temperature outside and begin to move faster overcoming the forces of attraction between the particles and turn into a liquid!
Adding energy to a solid bar of gold results in what outcome?
An increase in motion and less attraction between particles
Why liquids diffuse much faster than solid?
The intermolecular force of attraction between the particles of solid is greater than liquid and due to this minimum space is found between the particles of solid. That's why liquids diffuse much faster than solids.
What happens to a particle in a solid when it gets cold?
the particle in a solid overcome the strong attraction between them the particle in a solid overcome the strong attraction between them the particle in a solid overcome the strong attraction between them
