What is a name used in chemistry in place of phase?

If you are talking about phase in the context of "the three phases of matter", (eg gas, liquid, solid), then a similar term used is "the three states of matter". If you are talking about phase in the context of oscillations, "phase" or "phase difference" is correct.


Which property applies to matter that consists of particles vibrating in place?

Particles that vibrate in place would be a solid object, so I would say that having a definite shape would be another property!


How do the molecules behave during each phase?

In the solid phase, molecules are closely packed together in a fixed position, vibrating in place. In the liquid phase, molecules are more loosely packed and have more freedom to move around, sliding past each other. In the gas phase, molecules are far apart and move freely and quickly, colliding with each other and the container walls.


Particles that make up matter are in what motion?

Particles that make up matter are in constant motion. This motion can be translational (moving from one place to another), vibrational (vibrating in place), or rotational (spinning around an axis). This motion is a result of the internal energy of the particles.


Why is a phase change a physical change and NOT a chemical change?

Because no chemical reaction is taking place. It is the same substance, just in a different state of matter.


A change of phase takes place at a constant what?

A change of phase takes place at a constant temperature.


What does the sentence 'the particles in a solid are vibrating' means?

It means that they move to and fro. The "particles" refer to the atoms or molecules of the solid. It is a well-known fact that all matter - whether solid, liquid, gas, or most other states of matter - is made up of atoms.


What is solids molecules?

Tightly packed, vibrating in place, has a definite shape and volume.


What is A solid molecule?

Tightly packed, vibrating in place, has a definite shape and volume.


When do the chromatids separate and moves to the opposite side of the cell?

It take place in Ana phase. Ana phase is the shortest


Can you fill in the blank to total energy of a materials particles causes particles to vibrate in place?

All states of matter have vibrating particles, but solids' particles vibrate only.


What state of matter is that substance?

The state of matter of a substance is determined by the arrangement of its particles. The three main states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. Solids have particles that are tightly packed and vibrating in place, liquids have loosely packed particles that can move past one another, and gases have particles that are far apart and move freely.
