How do liquids and gases differ?
Liquids and gases can be categorized differently through many ways, specially through their partcile composition. Liquid particles are close together and pass pass each other easily. In the other hand, gas particles are well separated and have lots of free space to move at high speeds.
Why do solids and liquids behave differently?
Unlike the particles that make up solids and liquids, gas particles have a large amount of empty space between them. The space that gas particles occupy is the gas's volume, which can change because of temperature and pressure.
The random spreading of one fluid through another is called?
The random spreading of one fluid through another is called DIFFUSION
What is an example when each separation method is used for mixtures?
centrifugal force- separates particles from liquids through the force of circular motion- in blood separation for medical usages plasma and blood cells for example erythrocytes semipermeable membrane- allows small particles selectively through a membrane and doesn't allow larger particles through, like a strainer- natural diffusion or osmosis distillation techniques- solid particles are separated from those that produce state changes under conditions of temperature and pressure changes- like distillation of water and vinegar, some particles are separated out and others remain magnetic forces- such as flux and alternating and direct current in electricity- some elements are drawn by chemical composition to other elements more than others, also changes in force fields can create separations within the composition
How can solids diffuse?
I'm not quite sure liquids diffuse. but gases do an example would be if something was burning in your house you would be able to smell it up the street. The particles move from a high to a low concentration. In other words move from a place where there are lots of the particles to a place where there isn't many of the particles to almost even it out. The particles have lots of space between them to move around. Bumping into each other they create kinetic energy. This means they are able to move around.
Why do liquids conduct heat better then gases?
In liquids particles are more loosely packed so heat can flow through more ease.
How Sounds travel through solids liquids and gas?
sound is made up of vibrations, and so you hear sound as the vibrations travel through the particles of solids liquids and gases.
Why does sound moves fastest in solids then liquids then gas?
Sound is a result of the vibration of the particles of the medium through which it is travelling. The more closely packed the particles are, the faster they bump against the particles next to them.
What state of matter does radiation happen you n?
Radiation can travel through; solids, liquids, gases and it can also pass through a vacuem (where particles are not present). This is because radiation uses waves to emit not particles.
Why do sounds travel quickly through solids and liquids but not gases?
because the particles are closer together so the vibrations are able to pass through them faster where as in gasses the particles are very spaced out so it takes longer to pass through the gas

'Does sound travel faster through a solid liquid or gas?
Through solids fastest, then liquids, then a gas.
How sound travels through air and objects to the ear?
Sound travels through particles which vibrate in solids liquids or gases, which is why sound can't travel through vacuums like space.
Do sound waves travel best through solids liquids gases or vacuums?
Sounds can't travel through a vacuum, it requires a medium (something to travel through). It can travel through the rest but the best is gases because the particles are more spaced out, unlike solids and liquids which are more closely packed.
What is pore?
A pore is a tiny opening in an organism or in tissue that allows microscopic particles, liquids, etc. through. There are many pores in human skin.
Can filtering separate dissolved solids from liquids?
Yes,filtration can be used to separate solids from liquids because if you filter a mixture of solids and liquids the liquid will pass through the filter paper while the solids will stay because its particles are too big
What does Permeates mean?
to go through, seep through, make way into. i.e. sweat permeates skin
