What waves are unique because of there ability to travel through a vacuum. a space that contains no particles of matter?
"electro-magnetic"
Why the water flows faster through the cylinders containing large particles than through the cylinders containing smaller particles?
because the surface area of the larger particles propels them faster which has a recipical effect on the water around the particles
What is needed for a sound to travel?
Particles, e.g gas particles in air, because sound travels through the vibration of particles. Sound waves cannot travel in a vacuum, as there are no particles.
Why does sound travel slowly through gas?
Sound travels slowly through gas because the particles in a gas are further away then the particles in a solid or a liquid. This makes it take longer for the sound waves to travel through the particles in gases because it takes longer for them to collide with each other; this makes it take longer for the particles to pass on the sound vibration.
Light can travel through a vacuum as is evidenced when you see the sun or the moon. Can sound travel through a vacuum also?
No, sounds cannot travel through a vacuum. This is because sound requires a medium to travel through because it requires the vibration of particles to travel and there need to be particles to vibrate for it to travel through.

What type of mixture contains insoluble particles mixed evenly through a liquid?
suspension
The ability of gases to spread rapidly through other gases is explained by what?
Constant random motion of particles
Why does cytoplasm need to enclosed by a semi-permeable membrane?
The cytoplasm is the body of a cell. It is surrounded by the Cell membrane. Permeable means its ability to allow particles or nutrients to pass through. It is called semi-permeable [membrane] because it only allows some particles or nutrients to pass through, not all.
How a wooden table can show that sound waves can travel through solids?
Put your ear on a table and hit the table the soundwave is caused by the vibration of particles in the table which transfer the sound wave to your ear where it is picked up as a vibration. sound travels through everything which contains particles. It will not travel through space as it is a vacuum and contains no particles therefore cannot pass the vibrations on.
Why the water flows faster through the cylinders containing large particles than through the cylinders containing smaller particles?
because the surface area of the larger particles propels them faster which has a recipical effect on the water around the particles
Why do the particles of a solution not separate?
Because the Particles are too small to fit through the filter paper. Hope this helps!
Can sound waves travel through steel?
Yes sound waves are made from vibrating atoms or particles and so any medium which contains particles can allow a sound wave to travel through it. The only thing a sound wave cannot travel through is a vacuum.
Does clay have high permeability?
No. Clay particles are very small and tend to attract other clay particles to from a matrix. Permeability refers to the ability of a gas or liquid to flow through a material. Because clay forms a tight matrix, gas and liquids flow very slowly through clay. Loose sand has high permeability
Why does water pass easily through sandy soil?
Sand is small particles of solid rock, that don't have the ability to absorb moisture. The water runs right through it.

Can you see particles in a colloid with a microscope?
suspension particles can be seen through a microscope
