Best Answer

Solid particles vibrate while locked in place. As they receive more energy, particle speed increases. Once the particles have enough energy they break apart and slide past each other as a liquid. The particle speed continues to increase as energy is added. Finally, they gain enough energy to break free and move independently as a gas.

Describe the molecular distance and motion in the three states of matter?

Molecular distance is the furthest and the motion is the fastest in gases. Molecular distance is closer and have much slower motion in liquids. Molecular distance is closest and the molecules move very very slowly (kind of just shake) in solids.


How the motion of particles differ in gases liquids and solids.?

The motion of particles in gasses, liquids, and solids are all different. Gas particles can move much more quickly than solids.


Explain difference between heat transfer mechanisms in solids liquids gases and combinations of substances in terms molecular motion bulk motion and surface properties in industrial processes?

In solids, heat is transferred by conduction, the movement (vibration) of molecules. Heat transfer from solids to liquids and gases takes place through convection, or the movement of fluids at the surface. Radiation heat transfer can occur without a medium.

What is the definition of a particle arrangement?

The distinction between states (that is solids, liquids and gases) is based on differences in molecular interelationships

Why solids is not compressible why?

solid is a state in which molecules are closely packed than liquids and gases. the inter molecular distance between the molecules of solids are less or negligible.thats why the solids are not compressible


Heat convection occurs in gases and liquids Heat convection does not occur in solids because solids are unable to?

transfer heat by fluid motion


What makes up solids liquids and gases?

Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases


How does the kinetic of solids liquids and gases compare?

The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.


How does solids liquids and gases benefit us?

All I know is that we drink liquids, breath gases, but how does solids help?


How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?

Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
