Because the particles are further apart (look up the particle model) :)

What do particles do in a liquid?
The particles have room to move around, but cannot move entirely freely.
In a solid are the particles are packed closely together but they can move past each other freely?
No. They are packed closely together, and can not move freely.
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.
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.
Do the particles that make up a solid move slower or faster than the particles that make up a gas?
Particles in a solid are held together by tight bonds, therefore only vibrate in a fixed position. Gases, however have a weaker or no bonds at all so the particles move about more about more freely.
Why do gas move freely?
Gases move freely because there are more spaces between particles of gases.So they can move easily.
How do Particles in gases move?
They move freely; spread among their container
What solids made of?
Particles. Just like liquids and gases. The difference between them is that solids have tighter packed particles that are less able to move freely
How do the particles move in liquids?
The particles in liquid move freely.
How do gases behave?
Gases - force of attraction is very weak - the particles in gases have a lot of space in between them - move very freely - gases are the least dense (from solids and liquids) - particles in gases are very "excited" and move around a lot.
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
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.
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 is the particles move freely around nucleus?
electron
Why can particles in a gas move freely?
Just because they can
Why the particles in a gas move freely?
Just because they can
