the soil that has large particles are the loosly packed ones, ahha


What is the definition for Packing of Particles?

How close together the molecules (particles) are in a substance/material. Solids are closely packed, liquids are loosely packed, and gas are very loose, freely moving molecules.


Do liquids particles move around so fast that they don't even stay close together?

Liquid particles are loosely packed in the container. They do move around but the particles are bond to each other loosely. So the liquid particles stay together.


Why can solid materials hold their shape?

Solid Materials hold their shape because the molecules are bound to each other, all solids have the ability to hold their shape when forces are applied. ** Look in your book. If you have CPO Focus on Physical Science, it is in Chapter 5 section 2 page 103 **


What are the loosely packed photosynthetic cells in the leaf called?

Thylakoids. Stacks of these are called granna.


Would a gas liquid or solid be most affected by the volume of its container?

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas.Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around.Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It will take the shape of its container. Particles can move about within a liquid, but they are packed densely enough that volume is maintained.Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume. A gas can be compressed.


Where is air and water found in soil?

Loosely packed spoil has spaces between the particles. These space fill with air and water


The three states of matter on earth are solid gas and what?

There is really 4 states of matter you have (in order from tightly packed to loosely packed particles) Solid, Liquid, Gas, and Plasma.


Do liquids have closely packed particles in fixed positions?

No, liquids have loosely-packed particles that move about. On the other hand, solids are said to be closely packed in fixed position.


Why do liquids conduct heat better then gases?

In liquids particles are more loosely packed so heat can flow through more ease.


What happens to kenitic energy of the particles when a solid changes to a gas?

Kinetic energy is possessed by virtue of the motion of particles. In solids, particles are tightly packed, so the can not move easily(hence the rigidity). In gases, particles are loosely packed, so they can move more freely(hence its ability to flow). Therefore, KE of particles increases when a solid changes to gas.


Are gas particles packed close together?

No, they are spread out. Gases are less dense than solids and liquids, which is caused by the particles being spread out.
