How does the spacing of molecules compare in solids liquids and gases?
Solid- Close together Liquid- Bit farther apart Gas- Far apart
Is molecule movement greater in liquids or gases?
molecules move more in gasses gasses>liquids>solids
Why is liquid easy to pour?
It is easy to pour a liquid rather than solids because the molecule makeup of fluid is less packed than the molecule makeup of solids. In other words, the molecules of solids are more tightly packed than of fluids.
What is meant by an extended or infinite-molecule solid?
These are solids formed from an infinite number of formula units (basic units) of a chemical compound.
Will all solids dissolved in water?
No, not at all. In fact most solids are INsoluble. Some solids (such as metals, stones, wood) don't dissolve while other solids like sugar or salt do dissolve. Water is a polar molecule, therefore it can dissolve only polar substances and many ionic compounds. However, it cannot dissolve non-polar substances.
Why solids can not flow?
Each molecule is aligned to all its neighbors.
Is a molecule a liquid?
No. Although liquids consist of molecules, and so do gases and solids.
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.
How does the spacing of molecules compare in solids liquids and gases?
Solid- Close together Liquid- Bit farther apart Gas- Far apart
Spacing of particles in solids and liquids?
It means that the particles of the liquid are rolling around. Example: Smurfs, they keep together and in the magic land they run around
Is molecule movement greater in liquids or gases?
molecules move more in gasses gasses>liquids>solids
Why is the velocity of sound greater in solids than in gas or liquid?
The speed of sound is greater in solids because the molecules of solids are so much closer together - it takes less time, then, for the sound waves to transfer from one molecule to the next, and to the next, and so on.
What are covalent-network solids?
Network Solids are atomic solids that contain strong directional covalent bonds to form a solid that might be best viewed as a giant molecule.
Describe the function of each type of molecule?
The molecule of solids is tight and very close with hardly any energy. Hope this was helpfull x x :D Good Luck x
Why is liquid easy to pour?
It is easy to pour a liquid rather than solids because the molecule makeup of fluid is less packed than the molecule makeup of solids. In other words, the molecules of solids are more tightly packed than of fluids.
Is double spacing set to 1.5 line spacing or 2.0 line spacing?
Double spacing is set to 2.0 line spacing.
How do Inter-molecule differ from intra-molecule?
Inter-molecular bonds involve the way molecules stick together in solids and liquids, like the polar bonds in water or the structures of diamonds and plastics. Intramolecular bonds are what hold each molecule together.Ê
