How do particles in liquids differ from particles in a solid?
solid particles are closer together so they can't move that well. But in a liquid the particles are farther away so they can flow more smoothlyIn solids, particles are rigid and next to each other in formation.In liquids, they are slipping over each other and continuously moving.In gases particles are bouncing off each other and the space/containers walls that they are confined to.In a solid, the particles that make up its matter are more closely spaced and rigid. They may have a particular fixed and defined structure (molecular or physical structure) These cannot freely moved around in a confined space (liquids) or move randomly in any direction (gases). Thus, particles in solids are more rigid and stable.In liquids, the particles are free to move randomly in a confined container. Their movement is unpredictable and do not have a definite structure or shape. Due to this free movement, they take up the shape of the container.This movement depends on the strength of the chemical bonds. Stronger the bond, more solid the object is, bit weaker, and it forms liquids, (when more energy is provided, more movement is possible)
Do liquids have electrically charged particles?
Yes, some liquids have electrically charged particles, such as salt water.
Can a liquids particles stop moving?
NO
What happens to the motion of an object's particles as their thermal energy increases?
They start to move faster, therefore, the reaction will happen quicker. This is because there is more chance of a collision between the particles.
How does the movement of particles in a stick of butter differ from the movement of particle in a dish of melted butter?
The movement of particles in a hard stick of butter are solid. Their not moving. While the movement of particles in a melted sick of butter are liquid. They are moving.
What are the movement of particles within solids liquids and gasses?
diffusion.
How much movement is there in the particles of liquids?
gliding movement
How does the movement of particles in a liquid help explain the shape and volume of liquids?
They dont
What name is given to the movement of particles like pollen grains on a surface of liquids?
The name of this movement is Brownian motion.
What is the difference between solids and liquids based on their atomic?
The difference between solids and liquids at the atomic level is primarily in the degree of freedom of motion that the particles have. In a solid the particles are closely packed together and have very limited movement meaning that the solid maintains a fixed shape. In a liquid the particles have more freedom of movement meaning that the liquid can take the shape of its container. Solids: Particles are closely packed together and have very limited movement the solid maintains a fixed shape. Liquids: Particles have more freedom of movement the liquid can take the shape of its container.
Do the particles in solids move?
Particles within are limited to vibrational motion, unlike the particles which make up liquids which can have vibrational & translational motion, and gaseous particles which have vibrational, translational and rotational motion.
What takes place within a solid as it undergoes melting?
As a solid melts, the intermolecular forces between the particles are weakened. This allows the particles to separate from each other, as they are no longer bound as tightly. As a result of their increased freedom of movement, solids because able to flow as they turn to liquids.
What material made of particles that can easily change location?
Metals are materials in which particles (electrons) can freely move. If you mean bigger particles (such as atoms or molecules), then liquids and gasses allow easy movement

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.
