What are the particles in a liquid able to do?

The particles of a solid can only vibrate about their fixed positions while the particles of a liquid can vibrate, rotate and translate (move from 1 place to another) within the liquid.


Which particles move freely in straight lines between liquid solid and gas?

Liquid for sure. As the particles in solid only vibrate and gas particles move about at random. Liquid particles are free to move past each other but, the tend to stick together. Hope that helped.


What are the movement of particles in a liquid?

the particles in liquid move around slowly in the liquid


Liquid and gases are different from solids because?

Gas: particles are well separated with no regular arrangement, they vibrate and move freely at high speeds, they assume the shape and volume of their container, they can be compressed, they can move freely past one another. Liquids: particles are close together with no regular arrangement, they vibrate, move about, and slide past each other, assume the shape of the container they occupy, they are not easily compressed, they flow easily. Solids: particles are tightly packed usually in a regular pattern, they vibrate but do not move from place to place, retain a fixed volume and shape, they are not easily compressible, and they do not flow easily.


Do the particles that make up a solid move slower or faster than the particles that make up a gas?

Particles in a solid are held together by tight bonds, therefore only vibrate in a fixed position. Gases, however have a weaker or no bonds at all so the particles move about more about more freely.

What form of gas has particles that move freely?

Gas is the form, there is no form of gas, the particles in gas move freely, they actually vibrate.


Particles in a liquid move around just as freely as particles in a solid?

Solid: Locked in a crystaline structure, however they do vibrate slightly. Liquid: Particles are attracted to one another but can flow freely. Gas: Particles move with total freedom.


Particles in a solid cannot move around they can?

The particles in a solid vibratre in a fixed position. Applying more force will allow them to move more freely


How do particles in a solid move?

Particle in a solid, are soooo squeezed together, they cannot roam around freely. I remember that they vibrate. Although, particles in a liquid and gas, are separated and move quicker and further away from each other.


What are the particles in a liquid able to do?

The particles of a solid can only vibrate about their fixed positions while the particles of a liquid can vibrate, rotate and translate (move from 1 place to another) within the liquid.


What describes the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of the motion of particles?

Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly

How do the particles move in liquids?

The particles in liquid move freely.


What way do solid particles move?

They vibrate.


Do gas particles vibrate while they move?

Not to my knowledge, they only vibrate if they are heated


Are the particles in a solid free to move?

No. According to the Kinetic Particle Theory, the particles in a solid are fixed very close together in fixed positions. They are not free to move and can only vibrate about their fixed positions, due to the strong attractive forces between them. This explains why solids have fixed shapes.


What does temperature do to particles?

it makes them move faster or vibrate
