How can you describe the motion of the particles in a solid?
The particles are tightly packed so they vibrate.
What happens to kenitic energy of the particles when a solid changes to a gas?
Kinetic energy is possessed by virtue of the motion of particles. In solids, particles are tightly packed, so the can not move easily(hence the rigidity). In gases, particles are loosely packed, so they can move more freely(hence its ability to flow). Therefore, KE of particles increases when a solid changes to gas.
Would a gas liquid or solid be most affected by the volume of its container?
Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas.Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around.Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It will take the shape of its container. Particles can move about within a liquid, but they are packed densely enough that volume is maintained.Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume. A gas can be compressed.
Why do solids lack the property of diffusion?
Because diffusion involves the random movement of particles. In a solid, particles cannot move to an area of low concentration as the intermolecular forces are too great. So the particles stay tightly packed in a solid.
Why can solid materials hold their shape?
Solid Materials hold their shape because the molecules are bound to each other, all solids have the ability to hold their shape when forces are applied. ** Look in your book. If you have CPO Focus on Physical Science, it is in Chapter 5 section 2 page 103 **
What happens when particles in a solid are packed so close together?
particles in a solid are packed so close together they can only
How are particles spaced in a solid?
Particles in a solid are tightly-packed, so there is no movement at all, therefore no space.

Are the particles of a gas packed closely together so that they don't have as much movement as the particles of a solid or liquid?
In a gas, the particles are much less densely packed than the particles of a solid or liquid, and consequently they move much more freely.
Why can the vulume of a gas change and the solid of a remain constaant?
In a solid,particles are packed tightly to each other while the gas particles are not packed tightly. So the gas particles can be compressed and can change the volume. Solids cannot be compressed to change the volume.

Why is water more dense than a solid than a liquid?
The particles in the solid are held relatively still and cannot move around each other. They are packed fairly bad, and so there are many places where they could be packed closer together, but can't do so since they are in a solid. The particles in the liquid form are free to move about and can fill the gaps in. This means more of the particles fit together and it is denser.
Why do solids lack the property of diffusion?
Because diffusion involves the random movement of particles. In a solid, particles cannot move to an area of low concentration as the intermolecular forces are too great. So the particles stay tightly packed in a solid.
How do you write a paragraph about what would happen if the solid state had not exited?
Particles in solids are so tightly packed that there is not much space between them.
Why can solid materials hold their shape?
Solid Materials hold their shape because the molecules are bound to each other, all solids have the ability to hold their shape when forces are applied. ** Look in your book. If you have CPO Focus on Physical Science, it is in Chapter 5 section 2 page 103 **
