What are the particles in a liquid able to do?
The particles of a solid can only vibrate about their fixed positions while the particles of a liquid can vibrate, rotate and translate (move from 1 place to another) within the liquid.
Explain why the particles of a liquid are able to pour into a container and then take on the shape of the container?
The particles of a liquid are not chemically bound to the other particles (the particles are generally molecules) around them. They do have some attraction for the other particles, which is why they are a liquid rather than a gas, however, the attraction applies equally to all the particles in the liquid, rather than being a specific attachment to neighboring particles. Consequently the particles move independently of each other, which makes liquids shapeless and able to be poured and to take the shape of a container.
does juice have a definite shape and volume?
Liquids. ... In a liquid, the particles are still in close contact, so liquids have a definite volume. However, because the particles can move about each other rather freely, a liquid has no definite shape and takes a shape dictated by its container.
Liquid and gases are different from solids because?
Gas: particles are well separated with no regular arrangement, they vibrate and move freely at high speeds, they assume the shape and volume of their container, they can be compressed, they can move freely past one another. Liquids: particles are close together with no regular arrangement, they vibrate, move about, and slide past each other, assume the shape of the container they occupy, they are not easily compressed, they flow easily. Solids: particles are tightly packed usually in a regular pattern, they vibrate but do not move from place to place, retain a fixed volume and shape, they are not easily compressible, and they do not flow easily.
What are the particles in liquid solid and gas?
the particle arrangements of a liquid is that the particles and atoms are a bit separated from each other. In a solid, they are closely packed together. In a gas they have no particular particle arrangement and are very far apart.
What is the shape and particle motion and density of a liquid?
Unlike a solid, a liquid has no defined shape. It is able to take the shape of a container and flow freely. It maintains a fairly constant density. Its density is higher than a gas, but less than a solid. The particles have only temporary bindings, allowing them to travel freely.
How do Particles in gases move?
They move freely; spread among their container
What are the particles in a liquid able to do?
The particles of a solid can only vibrate about their fixed positions while the particles of a liquid can vibrate, rotate and translate (move from 1 place to another) within the liquid.
What happens to partices when they are frozen?
From a liquid: the particles are moving freely around the cup as they like, in an unorderly fashion. To a solid: the particles slow down and stop in in orderly fashion in the shape of the container.
In a gaseous state how do particles move?
They move freely and expand to fill it's container. They also move quickly relative to liquids or solids.
What do gases and liquids have in common that is not true for solids?
They both expand when heated. They both can be compressed to take up less space. They are both fluids, that is, they flow (particles move freely around one another) and they take the shape of their container.
Particles in a liquid move around just as freely as particles in a solid?
Solid: Locked in a crystaline structure, however they do vibrate slightly. Liquid: Particles are attracted to one another but can flow freely. Gas: Particles move with total freedom.
How do the particles move in liquids?
The particles in liquid move freely.
Flows freely but particles still attract?
Gas particles flow freely but are still attracted to each other. This is because the particles are very far apart.
How does gas behave inside a close container?
They move Freely in the closed container.
What form of gas has particles that move freely?
Gas is the form, there is no form of gas, the particles in gas move freely, they actually vibrate.
