Tightly packed, vibrating in place, has a definite shape and volume.
a molecule is a gas,solid, or liquid
Iodine molecule is a crystalline solid at room temperature. It forms a lattice structure with well-defined repeating patterns.
A diatomic molecule of a solid compound consists of two atoms of the same element that are covalently bonded together within the solid lattice structure. Examples include oxygen (O2) and nitrogen (N2) in solid form.
Molecule movement is the smallest in a solid. In a solid, the molecules are closely packed and have limited freedom to move and vibrate. In liquids and gases, the molecules have more space and freedom to move, resulting in greater molecular movement.
Ice is not a molecule, but rather a solid composed of water molecules that are arranged in a specific crystalline structure. Each water molecule in ice is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom bonded together.
they vibrate around fixed points
It all depends on which molecule you have.
A solid molecule, due to its fixed shape and volume, will not take the shape of its container. Liquids and gases, on the other hand, will conform to the shape of the container they are placed in.
Sulfer oxide is covalently bonded - so no, it is not an ionic solid.
A molecule is a group of atoms bonded together, while a lattice is a regular arrangement of atoms, ions, or molecules in a crystalline solid. A molecule is a discrete entity, while a lattice represents the repeating pattern of particles in a solid structure.
No.
No, molecule movement is greatest in gases, followed by liquids, and then solids. In a solid, molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions, whereas in gases, molecules move freely and rapidly.
