Unless the particles collide


What explains the motion of micro particles?

Brownian motion. This is random motion of micro particles resultimg from collisions between the particle in question and other particles in the surrounding medium.


What explains particle motion?

There are many kinds of particles and many kinds of motion, so there is more than one answer to that question. In many cases, particle motion is explained by Newtonian mechanics. In other cases, you would need quantum mechanics or Einstein's theory of relativity, or the Maxwell equations if the particles are photons.


Is there a way to stop the particles from moving?

If you mean, thermal motion, if an object is cooled down, the particles will move slower. Absolute zero (no particle movement, and no other kind of internal energy) can be approached, but it can't be reached completely.If you mean, thermal motion, if an object is cooled down, the particles will move slower.

What are 4 main points of the particle theory?

5 major points of the particle theoryAll matter is made up of extremely tiny particlesEach pure substance has its own kind of particle, different from the particles of other pure substances.Particles attract each otherParticles are in constant motionParticles at a higher temperature are moving faster than particles at a lower temperature.


What is the size of a particle?

It is very very tiny and microscopic that you can not see it. Even though you can not see it the particles still move. Solids have particles packed tightly together and vibrating in motion. Liquids have particles flowing and farther apart from each other. Gas particles move so fast and are moving randomly and are so far apart from each other. This is the dimension of a particle expressed as diameter, mass, volume.


What are some particles in an Electron?

An electron is believed to be a fundamental particle. There are no other particles in it.


What is particles theory of matter?

The Particle Theory has 4 laws: 1) All matter is composed of particles 2) Each of these particles have spaces between them 3) These particles are always in a constant state of motion 4) Because some particles are Negative, & some Positive, they are attracted to each other.


How does the particle theory relate to heat transfer?

the amount of "heat" that a particle has is really dependent on how fast that particle is moving. Heat is really just the motion of particles. So, one particle can transfer heat (motion/speed) to another by colliding with it. Just like a someone throwing a billiard ball into a second billiard ball. Before the 2 balls collide, the one you threw (moving faster) is the hot particle and the stationary ball (not moving/slow) is the cold one. After the collision both balls will be moving. So some heat (motion) was transferred from one ball to the other. When you fry bacon on a stove, the fast moving particles of the pan collide with the bacon particles, causing them to move faster. If the bacon particles move faster, they are hotter. NOW GO READ YOUR CHEMISTRY BOOK!


What is particle collision?

Particle collision usually refers to two subatomic particles slamming into each other at high speeds causing them to break into smaller particles. These speeds are created by particle accelerators.


A negative particle is called an electron?

No, the other way round: An electron is a negatively charged particle. There are also other other negatively charged particles.


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.
