this is because the the particle in liquid have lower attraction force between particle compared to solid

Why diffusion of liquids is faster than solids?
In the liquid state, particles move freely,the particles are not closely packed they can slip and slide on each other and have greater space between them as, compared to solids.ORThe intermolecular space is more in liquids than in solids and so, it can difusse faster.That is why rate of difussion in liquids is higher than that of solids.
Are the particles in a liquid are usually closer together than the particles in a solids?
no, particles in a solid are closer
How are amorphous solids formed?
Amorphous solids are formed by the rapid cooling of a liquid. Then, when cooled the particles have no regular pattern like crystaline solids do.
What has to be overcome for a solid to change to a liquid and a liquid to a gas?
The energy between particles. The particles must be heated so that there is no forces of attraction, therefore the solids particles can loosen into liquid particles and the liquids particles can loosen into gas, the heat energy is used to make the particles move faster
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.
How are particles liquids and solids the same?
They are EXACTLY the same particles but in a liquid they are further apart and free to move round as compared to the particles in the solid form which are fixed in their position, one relative to the other.
Separates particles from the liquid by forcing the liquid through a membrane?
Liquid solids are the particles that come from liquid. This goes through a membrane.

Do particles of a liquid collide with each other?
solids

no, particles in a solid are closer
How do the particles of a liquid make it possible to pour juice into glass?
The particles of a liquid retain the same volume but are not fixed in place. As they retain the same volume no matter what container they are in, it is possible to pour juice into a glass without the particles dispersing as the particles of a gas would. Because the particles of a liquid are not fixed in place, as in a solid, the liquid can flow and fit itself to the shape of the glass.
Is the attraction in particles stronger in liquids then solids?
Forces of attraction have a stronger effect on the behavior of liquid particles.
How are amorphous solids formed?
Amorphous solids are formed by the rapid cooling of a liquid. Then, when cooled the particles have no regular pattern like crystaline solids do.
What happens when liquid particles turn into solids?
This physical process is called freezing.
Are the particles of gas are packed tightly together?
No, they are not packed tightly together. The particles in solids are. In gas, they move in random motion and are the furthest apart, compared to solids and liquids. Hope this helps :)
