When a solid changes to a gas adjustments in its state appear. Atoms move from been solidly arranged to make it stiff to atoms moving around freely and the gas can occupy the areas around the atoms.

Are particles that are close together in gas liquid or solid?

Particle spacing is the closest together in solids. In liquids the spacing is close, however the particles have the freedom of movement. In gas, the particles have lots of kinetic energy, therefore they are far apart.


What happens to substance during changes between gas to liquid?

The particles of the substance gain kinetic energy as they absorb heat energy. Eventually there is enough kinetic energy for the particles to escape the liquid phase, forming the gas phase.


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.

What happens when solid water gradully changes to water as a gas?

It evaporates.


What happens to the distance between particles of a substance as it changes from a liquid to a gas?

The distance increases, as the particles become more energetic and the substance loses its definite volume, as the particles bounce around, due to heat/increased energy.
