They break up into individual molecules (or ions) and diffuse throughout the liquid.

What is the difference between melting and dissolving particles?

To melt is to go from solid form to a liquid state. To dissolve is to disintegrate, or terminate.


What is the process in which a substance breaks up into smaller particles as it dissolves?

You question makes no sense. If particles dissolve they go into solution, they do not "break apart and scatter".


Does sugar dissolve differently in different liquids?

Yes, it depends how much sugar is in the liquid to begin with, the more sugar in the liquid to begin with, the slower the dissolving rate. This is because there is only so much space between the liquid particles for the sugar to go in.


A substance changes from a solid to a liquid?

You mean if a substance can go from solid to liquid? Of course, take the ice cubes out of the freezer and you'll see it happening. Do you mean that when such process occurs, does the substance changes? No, only the grouping and movement of particles in it.


Does sublimation particles slow down or speed up?

During sublimation, particles will speed up. Sublimation is the transition of a substance to go from a solid to a gas without going through the liquid phase.


What happens when a solute dissolves in a liquid?

The particles of that solute go into the empty spaces around the water particles.


In particle theory why does liquid go to solid?

Closer bonding of particles.


What effect does temperature have on the rate of dissolving?

Increasing the temperature of a solvent speeds up the movement of its particles. This increase cause more solvent particles to bump into the solute. As a result, solute particles break loose and dissolve faster.Temperature often affects solubility rates. Endothermic stuff tends to go faster in warm, and exothermic stuff tends to go faster in cool.


What is true concering the motion of the particles in a liquid?

random -- the particles go about in a random fashion in a liquid -- cannot predict which direction a molecule of the liquid will hit the particle in the next period of time of significance (seconds or minutes).


When you add heat to a substance its particles slow down true or false?

False because the particles begin to go all crazy.


Explain the changes that have to take place for a substance to go from solid to liquid to gas?

Since particles are tightly packed together solid melts when energy increases. Example: ice SInce particles are fairly close together liquid evaporates/boils when energy increases. Example: Boiling Water. SInce particles have little attraction in gas. It condenses when energy decreases. Liquid solidifies when energy decreases.

How does matter go from a solid to a liquid?

particles of solid gain energy from the higher temperature outside and begin to move faster overcoming the forces of attraction between the particles and turn into a liquid!
