They really don't. Gas is the least dense state of matter, so the molecules are very spread out. By very spread out i mean still within nanometers of eachother. Unless your talking about an explosion, in which they would, and that is according to the basic laws of physics, every action has a equal and opposite reaction etc etc.

Do particles move faster in a gas or liquid?
Particles generally move faster in a gas compared to a liquid. In a gas, particles have more energy and move more freely and quickly as they are not as tightly packed as in a liquid. Conversely, in a liquid, particles are closer together and interact more, resulting in slower movement.
Which particles move freely in straight lines between liquid solid and gas?
Liquid for sure. As the particles in solid only vibrate and gas particles move about at random. Liquid particles are free to move past each other but, the tend to stick together. Hope that helped.
What happens when solid water gradully changes to water as a gas?
It evaporates.
The particles of a substance move independately of one another?
Well, that depends on what state of matter they are in. a solid can move, but cannot move freely as it is bound to one spot by the gravitational forces. water would be able to move freely in a confined space. and gas can move freely as long as there is nothing blocking its path.
How are helium particles different from gas particles?
The particles of a solid are packed together tight, and since they are, they don't move, they vibrate back and forth. The particles of a gas are few and far between, so they fly around randomly. Hope this helps.
What do the particles in a gas do?
they move freely around
A gas is a collection of what that move about freely?
Gas is a collection of gas phase particles that move around freely. The gas phase particles are ions, molecules or atoms.
What form of gas has particles that move freely?
Gas is the form, there is no form of gas, the particles in gas move freely, they actually vibrate.
How are the particles in a liquid different from the particles in a solid?
a gas have no definite shape so the particles can move around freely but in a liquid ,which has a definite shape, particles move around but are restricted
How are the particles in a solid arranged differently from those in a liquid?
a gas have no definite shape so the particles can move around freely but in a liquid ,which has a definite shape, particles move around but are restricted
Why can particles in a gas move freely?
Just because they can
Why the particles in a gas move freely?
Just because they can
Does a gas have particles that are held rigidly in place?
NO! gas particles move around freely and zoom all over the place. ice is made of rigid particles which is why it is a solid. a liquid is made up of s l o w l y moving particles, which is why it can move freely.
Why do gas move freely?
Gases move freely because there are more spaces between particles of gases.So they can move easily.
How is the movement of particles in a gas differ from the movement of particles in liquid?
I think the reason why is that the particles in a gas move freely and they move fast. Therefor the particles in a liquid slide past eachother and the reason why that they're differ from eachoth is because a gas and a liquid are differ from eachother like an example, They particles in a gas heat up and move freely
Are there particles in gas?
Yes, and they move freely and fill up the space that is around them unlike in a solid were the particles are tight and compacted in a fixed position. You cannot see the particles.
Particles in a liquid move around just as freely as particles in a solid?
Solid: Locked in a crystaline structure, however they do vibrate slightly. Liquid: Particles are attracted to one another but can flow freely. Gas: Particles move with total freedom.
