What is the average speed of the particles of a substance?
The average speed of the particles in a substance is the definition of temperature.
The speed at which new particles form is called?
The speed of which new particles form is called the rate of reaction.
A measure of the speed of molecules is the?
particles
How are speed and weight related?
The heavier something is, the harder it is to get it moving quickly.
Alpha particles ejected from the nucleus travel at the speed of light?
No. Alpha particles are helium nuclei; such nuclei have a mass, and can therefore NOT travel at the speed of light.
What happeneds to a liquid when it releases enough energy?
A liquid becomes a solid when heat is removed. The energy content decreases, and the speed of the particles decrease.
Do lighter gas particles diffuse less rapidly than heavier gas particles?
No, heavier gas particles diffuse slower than lighter gas particles
Are liquids and solids particles heavier than gas particles?
