What is the kid definition of physical state?

Physical state means solid, liquid, or gas. A gas is something like air. A liquid is something like water that you can pour. A solid is something like the floor or your chair.


In which state do the particles occupy the greatest amount of space?

Think of it like this, a gas takes up the whola amount in a container while a solid is fixed in and liquid is the nd when it comes to the volume.


What does forces between particles mean?

It means when their are movement between the particles like vibration in a solid.


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!


Is sand a solid and why?

Yes, because sand is just a bunch of particles mixed together. A liquid, gas, or solid will appear to be so down to a molecular level. If you look at water through a microscope, it will look like water until you can distinguish individual molecules. Even then, we will know we are looking at a single water molecule, which has predictable properties regarding change of state. It is still a liquid under normal temps. Sand will look solid, no matter how close you look at it, down to a molecular level. A beach is just a bunch of solid particles piles together. Sand can also be melted and turned into liquid, like making glass. This requires heat and pressure. In our normal atmosphere, quartz is in its solid form. Thus the REAL answer is that all matter in the universe can be wither solid, liquid, gas, or plasma.

Why does water freze?

the particles spread out an dmove very slow forming a solid like material


What is the change of state does melting change from?

From a solid like ice to a liquid like water.


To study diffusion of solid in liquid?

a solid is made up of particles that are held tightly and have very strong intermolecular forces of attraction and less free space so the particles are not in motion. when dissolved in liquid they tend to fill in the spaces present between liquid particles and hence diffusion occurs.


Why do particles of water at 0 degree Celsius has more energy than particles of ice at bthe same temperature?

Particles of water at 0 degree Celsius have more energy than particles of ice at the same temperature because water molecules in the liquid state have more freedom of movement and are able to rotate, vibrate, and translate more easily than the tightly packed molecules in a solid structure like ice. This extra movement and freedom of motion result in higher kinetic energy for the particles of water compared to the particles of ice.


Is jam a liquid or a solid?

no jam is a solid because it is a solid Jam is often considered to be a 'suspension' - a state in which particles of a substance and mixed with a fluid but undissolved. Also, the word 'gel' applies in which particles of fruit are dispersed in a liquid medium which has become viscous enough to behave more or less like a solid

How does water turn from a solid to a liquid?

water like other things can change different states. So what happens is the particles in this substance reacts to the temperatures (which affects what state it goes in) and thus change different states. Take a look at this diagram for a further explanation.


Which state has a shape of its own?

the answer is that the shape it own because the state make it answer

When a solid changes into a liquid?

whenever its gets to melting point.
