What is the difference between a solid and a liquid since in both states the molecules are packed closely together?
Tink12345
A solid's molecules are packed more closely together than a liquid's and are usually locked into a grid to form a crystalline or lattice structure.

What is the difference between a Condensate and liquify and gas?
A gas doesn't have a definite shape or volume iits molecules are very loose A liquid doesn't have a definite shape, but it does have a definite volume. A solid has both a definite shape and volume. molecules in solid are closely bound together. molecules in liquid are closely bound but not so closely as compared to solid molecules in gas are spread far away from each other. solids cannot be easily compressed. liquids and gases are easily compressible. solids have fixed shape. liquids and gases have the shape of the container.
What is the definition for Packing of Particles?
How close together the molecules (particles) are in a substance/material. Solids are closely packed, liquids are loosely packed, and gas are very loose, freely moving molecules.
Which organic molecules are most closely related to lipids?
Fats are the organic molecules that are most closely related to lipids. Other organic molecules include carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Why is a solid much more harder to compress than a gas?
The molecules in a solid are closely packed together in an orderly arrangement, leaving no spaces in between the molecules, therefore making compress difficult and almost impossible without use of machinery.
In a solid are the particles are packed closely together but they can move past each other freely?
No. They are packed closely together, and can not move freely.
What is the difference between water moulecules air vs cold air?
The water molecules in cold air are moving more slowly than those in warm air. Additionally, because the other air molecules are packed more closely together, less water molecules can fit between them. Consequently, the absolute humidity of cold air when saturated with water molecules is lower than that of warm air.

What is the Difference between clustered system and multiprocessor system?
is a number of linked systems, working together closely ,so that they form a single computer
In which form of substance do the molecules have the strongest attractions to one another?
solid because the molecules are packed closely together
What is the difference between a solid solution and a liquid solution?
The particles in a solid solution are packed closely together, they vibrate. The particles in a liquid solution are spread more.
What are solids are of?
Solid has definite volume and shape It's atoms and molecules are packed closely together that is all i got . :)
When a gas is compressed in a cylinder what does the distance between the gas molecules do?
The compression will result in a lowering in the average distance between molecules of the gas. Imagine that the cylinder is like that in an internal combustion engine, with a piston inside the cylinder. The compression is accomplished by pressing the gas into a reduced volume. The number of gas molecules remains the same. With the same number of molecules in a reduced volume, the gas molecules are pressed more closely together, lowering the average distance between the gas molecules.
If are spaced closely together on a map there is a drastic temperature change over a difference?
Isotherms
What is the difference between a linked and unlinked gene?
Linked genes are closely located on the chromosome while unlinked genes not closely located. Linked genes travel together as a result of their closeness while unlinked genes move randomly.
Why can only gases can be compressed?
The molecules in a gas are always spaced out in a random pattern and without strong forces of attraction that hold them together in an orderly arrangement unlike liquids where the molecules are closely packed but not in a orderly arrangement and they cannot move freely, however can still move around, due to the not very strong forces of attraction between them, and solids, where the molecules are closely packed into an orderly arrangement and they can only move around in their fixed positions, therefore gas molecules can move freely and can be compressed into the spaces between them.
Similarities of liquid and gas?
They are both fundamental phases of matter. They can vary in form, and do not have their atoms or molecules packed closely together.
