What is the major different in flow of energy versus the flow of matter?
Matter is always in the form of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.). For it to flow, the atoms have to move from one place to another. Energy can move from some matter to other matter without moving the matter. Example: an ice cube warming up but not yet melting has energy flowing into it, but matter is not flowing. When it starts to melt, matter (in the form of water molecules) flows out.
Are solid particles closely held together?
yeah, but only enough for them to vibrate in place. Catch me on Facebook- Amir Cashmere El-Badry
Are Particles of matter are ALWAYS in motion?
yes, the different charges of the atoms and molecules are in constant motion except at absolute zero, where there is no movement at all and life cannot take place.
Why do molecules of solid move rapidly?
The atoms in a solid are arranged in closely packed. Lot of energy is required to break the bond between atoms or molecules. Supplied energy to the solid is loose in the form of vibrations. They vibrate back and forth, but do not (inter)change place, so there is no molecular 'velocity'. Liquids and gases even more have 'speady' molecules (that's why those material states don't have a certain 'shape').
Is there a place existing where there is no matter?
In a vacuum no matter exists.
Matter in which atoms are tightly held in place is a?
a solid
What is matter in witch atoms are tightly held in place?
Solid
What are properties of solids?
Solid has definite volume and shape It's atoms and molecules are packed closely together that is all i got . :)
Does solids have atoms that hold it in place?
All matter is made of atoms. Liquids, solids and gases are all made of atoms. It is the bond between atoms that make a substance solid or liquid.
Have definit shape and volume because particles are packed closely together and merely vibarte in place?
"solids"
Scientific definition of a solid?
A state of matter in which the atoms are to close to move or collide, so they vibrate in place close to eachother, harder to penetrate then other states of matter
How atoms are held in place in a covalent compound?
They are held together by forces. For more info go to bbc bitesize

How do particles move in solids?
They don't move around per se, but the stay in one place and vibrate
When two atoms combine to form a larger atoms its called?
Atomic fussion, which takes place inside stars and fused Hydrogen atoms together to form Helium atoms. Nuclear fusion

How does explosions take place on Sun?
When the hydrogen atoms fuse (join together) they make a explosion, the explosion gives out lots of helium
