Do sound waves travel faster through gases or solids?
Of the three mediums (gas, liquid, and solid) sound waves travel the slowest through gases, faster through liquids, and fastest through solids. This is because longitudinal waves require collisions between particles to transmit energy - in dense materials, the atoms are closer together, leading to more collisions per second, increasing the speed of transmission. Temperature also affects the speed of sound.
Why do solids not take the shape of their container?
i dont rly know so plz tell me
Why does light travel slower in solids?
light travels slower because solids are denser than other forms and he particles dont let light pass through them easily
How do you separate a liquid and a gas?
i dont know! does anyone?
What are solids particle movement?
Good question... Solids particles hardly move they just hit up against each other which causes them to fibrate so fast that you dont feel it. Sorry I would of given you a more specific answer but I have already learned this so i dont remember the scientific explanation
What do solids and liquids have that gases dont?
big spaces between the particles???
Why does diffusion happen in gases and liquids but not in solids?
the force of attraction between the particles gases is weak force of attraction between the particles in liquid is a bit strong force of attraction between the particles in solid is strongest this is the right answers,,,,,dont worry :)
What is a liquid called that cannot dissolve any more solids?
it is called precipitates.
What properties do plasmas have that solids liquids and gases dont?
A plasma is an ionized gas ... thus its properties are those of a gas PLUS the fact that it can conduct electricity.
What properties do gases have that liquids dont?
In a solid. There are a WHOLE lot of particles. They are all tightly connected and the only way to separate them is by using a lot of force. In a liquid, the particles are connected but can move around freely. They still have to connect to the other particles, but the bond is weaker and very easily broken. In a gas, the particles are NOT connected and can move around freely. They do not have to be connected, unlike solids and liquids; and they can move, unlike solids.
Can chloroform be injected?
any liquid can be injected, even some gases. wheather it works or not i dont know yet.
Is it true that solids can often diffuse into a liquid but cannot diffuse into another solid?
Yes Diffusion is mainly gases property Diffusion is shown also by liquids but much less than the gases Liquids diffuse from solutions of higher concentration to solutions of lower concentration So the driving force for the diffusion is concentration difference. Rate of Diffusion depends on liquid`s viscosity,temperature etc. depends on what is the liquid however. (oil and water dont) examples food coloring in water. liquid chocolate in milk.
When condensation occurs water changes from what?
Gas (water vapor in the air) to liquid (on the surface).
How do solids dissolve?
I dont know
Why does a liquid expand to fill the container completely?
Liquids expand because their molecular structure allows them to move. Unlike solids, liquids are not constrained to one shape. That is why they can expand.
How do you describe solids liquids and gases in terms of volume and shapes?
(This Question Can Not Have An Awnser Due To Science Book Copyright! All comments leave to wikiawnsers@awnsers.com! Thanks!)If you pour a liquid in a container or a cup, the liquid takes the shape of the container or cup, and the particles in the liquid ( which is in the container ) only move a little bit, the particles in the liquid is not gas ( which moves everywhere ) even when liquids change shape, they dont change volume. A gas if you put helium in a balloon the particles doesnt really take the shape it makes the shape and the particles of the gas in the cylinder (Helium tank ) are much closer together than the particles of the gas in the balloons. Then a solid, differing arrangements of particles in crystalline solids and amorphous solids lead to different properties. the particles in an amorphous solid do not have an orderly arrangement. the particles in a crystalline solid have a very orderly arrangement.
What are two types of solids?
The two types of solids are amorphous and crystalline solid!
