What describes the properties of solids liquids and gases in terms of the motion of particles?

Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly


Gases diffuse most efficiently across what?

Diffusion of gases easily occurs across a membrane. The gases will have to be converted into liquids so as to diffuse easily.


Do liquids diffuse fast of slow?

No. Diffusion is faster in gases.


What is diffusion in liquid and in gas?

Gases the most, then liquids. Solids generally don't diffuse.


What are the 6 characteristics of gas?

Gases have no shape; Gases have no volume; are compressible; diffuse rapidly; have low density; and exert pressure.


True or false Gases with high molecular weights diffuse more slowly than gases with lower molecular weights?

Smaller molecules diffuse readily.


Which diffuse faster-liquid or gas and why?

gases diffuse faster than liquids.. bcoz atoms r free and r not bounded.......


Do gas diffuse?

by cooling


Do particles in liquids move more slowly than the particles in gases?

Yes.


Why is the rate of diffusion of gases more rapid than that of liquids?

Gases diffuse faster than liquids because the intermolecular forces holding gases together are significantly weaker than those holding liquids together. This allows the molecules of the gas to move faster than those of a liquid.


What properties do liquid and gases have due to the movement of their molecules?

Liquids and gases are amorphous (shapeless), viscous (can flow), and diffuse (have internal space) due to the movement of their molecules.


Why diffusion rates of liquids are much less than diffusion rates of gasses?

Liquids diffuse at a slower rate than do gases because they have much less kinetic energy.
