Ice is the form of water that has particles moving the slowest. This is because the water is solid and the particles are tightly compacted.

Can hot water dissolve more salt then room temperature water?
yes, Because the warmer the water is the closer it is to gas form and so therefore the particles are moving at a faster rate and have more successful collisions with the salt particles making the salt dissolve faster. Colder water is closer to solid form and the particles move at a slower rate and have less successful collisions and therefore don't bump into salt particles as often making the salt dissolve at a slower rate. The warmer the water is the more activation energy there is to encourage the water to begin reacting with the salt and dissolve it.
What happens to water vapor when it cools then condenses around dust and salt?
When water vapor condenses around dust particles a cloud is formed
What is the particle theory of dissolving?
When a solid dissolves, the solid (solute) and the liquid (solvent) will form solution. When a solid dissolves on mixing, its particles will break apart hence forming loose associations with the liquid particles. This random mixing of particles from both solid and liquid that is called dissolving process. A solid will not dissolve in a liquid if its particles are unable to form these association with the respective liquid particles. This is a reversible process. Solute can be obtained back by evaporation etc.
A liquid takes the shape of its container and keeps the same volume?
Due to the constant motion of the particles in a liquid, the particles could theoretically keep moving so that the liquid never takes a form. But putting the liquid into a container effectively throws a huge wall in front of the moving particles that they cannot get past. the particles hit the sides of the container and change direction. The liquid then remains in that shape despite the fact that its particles are still moving (hitting the sides of the container). Because a liquid has stronger intermolecular forces than gases, the liquid stays in liquid form and does not just evaporate once it is put into a container and its particles hit an obstacle.
What do the particles do when the water begins to freeze?
Short Answer:As water freezes the water particles particles move from a somewhat random (liquid) arrangement into a more orderly crystalline (ice) pattern and give up energy in the process.Explanation:Water freezes (at 0 degrees C, 32 degrees F) and liquid water and solid water coexist at the same during the freezing process. In the liquid portion, molecules are still rather mobile, moving around in an irregular diffusive process. In the solid form, molecules are arranged in a regular pattern, the crystalline patter of ice. In the crystal state, the individual molecules stay in specific positions relative to their neighbors.It is important to note that the kinetic energy of water molecules is proportional to temperature, so the kinetic energy of the ice water molecules is the same as the kinetic energy of the water molecules at the freezing temperature, 0 C. The heat that is removed from water to form ice is potential energy that exists as a consequence of the electrostatic forces between the molecules. The potential energy decreases when the molecules move into positions where attractive forces hold them together more effectively.
Placer deoosits form when?
They form when heavy eroded particles settle out of moving water.
Placer deposits form when?
Heavy eroded particles settle out of moving water
How does salt and water form using the particle theory?
The particles of salt and the particles of water are both moving very fast. The different particles attract to each other so therefore it forms a solution.
Do the fastest or slowest moving molecules break away from the surface of liquid water to form water vapor?
The fastest moving water molecules will break away from the surfrace of the water to form water vapor, they have the energy to overcome the attractive forces between molecules.
When water molecules are moving closer together in the air it's called what?
This happens when the air cools. If the water particles get close enough to form liquid, the process is called condensation.
Do liquids have a higher particle speed than solids?
Yes. Liquids are liquid because the particles are moving fast and bumping into each other so you get the sliding motion of liquid. Solids have the slowest particle movement of any form of matter. For the longest time it was believed that the particles in solids do not even move, however, scientists have found that the particles do move as they simply vibrate in place.
What state of matter do the particles move slowest?
In solid form, atoms have the least amount of movement (although they still move slightly).
What the formation of a cloud?
Clouds form when evaporated water (water vapor) rises into the earth's atmosphere where it eventually condenses and forms water particles. These water particles then rapidly join with particles of dust and also collide to form larger droplets. Large quantities of this amass together to ultimately form a cloud.
Light can be described as a stream of fast moving particles called?
Light is a form of electromagnetic radiation. It is composed of bundles of particles called photons.
What stops salt crystals from forming when water particles are present?
Salt crystals will not form is the water weight or temperature of the water particles is incorrect.
Why does water vapor need solid particles in the atmosphere to form clouds?
Particles are needed because then the water vapor can condense on them
How are clouds formed using the words evaporation and condensation?
Strictly using the words evaporation and condensation, water from seas, rivers and lakes undergoes the natural process of evaporation forming water vapor and moving up in the air. When this rising water vapor reaches an altitude where the temperature is dewpoint (temperature required for water vapor to turn into water/dew), the minute particles of water vapor condense to form tiny particles of water in the form of clouds.
