When particles spread?

Sound does not spread out in particles but in waves. Imagine dropping a pebble in a still lake...and that is how sound waves spread out. Sound waves can also reverberate through harder materials; however, soft materials absorb the vibrations.


How do the particle in matter behave when a solid turns into a liquid?

Kinetic theory is the part of physics that houses the answer.As temperature increases, particles move faster and faster. They gain more kinetic energy. In solids, molecules are tightly bound together (jiggling in only a miniscule fashion) but as they gain greater kinetic energy they have more potential to move past one another. They become less tightly bound and by the expression move past one another one can easily imagine such giving rise to the flow of liquids. Imagine the crystal structure of ice breaking down to liquid water as an easy example of this. But the principle would be the same in the production of all liquids. Liquid nitrogen flows too, as does glass. Imagine the wall forever moving on the molecular level - particles gaining speed and thus becoming less well bound together as temperature increases. And thus, moving faster and pushing past one another with their increased energy, the movement of the particles renders a solid......a liquid.


Why subatomic particles are not building blocks of matter?

Matter actually is made of sub-atomic particles. It would be perfectly reasonable to describe sub-atomic particles as the building blocks of matter. You might imagine that you have to assemble the sub-atomic particles into atoms first, and then use the atoms as your building blocks, but lots of things are not made of atoms; for example, you do not find atoms in the sun, which is so hot that atoms disintegrate into a plasma of atomic nuclei and free electrons.


What happend to alpha particles when they hit gold foil?

The nucleus of an atom takes up only a small fraction of the total space occupied by an atom. Most of the space is occupied by the electron cloud, where the comparatively massive alpha particles (helium nuclei) were virtually unaffected by their passage, even if they collided with many electrons.


Why does increase in temperature increase the rate of a reaction?

To answer it, you have to imagine small particles in a solution. Let's take a simple reaction like A + B -> C To react, A and B have to bump each others. If you heat the solution, atoms will move faster, so you will increase the probability of having shocks between A and B, then you will speed the reaction. It's simplified, but it almost explains what really happens.

What happens to liquid when it boils?

imagine that you are heating a pan of tap water on a cooker and taking the temperature of the water with a thermometer every two minutes until after the water has boiled


What page number in paper towns is the quote nothing ever happens like you imagine it does?

The quote "Nothing ever happens like you imagine it will" in the novel "Paper Towns" by John Green can be found on page 52.


How can water exist as a solid and a liquid at 0 degrees Celsius?

When liquid, individual water particles cling together in a way that allows them to move around, as long as they stick together. Imagine a bunch of people all holding hands, running around outside. That's sort of how the molecules move.When water freezes at about 0 degrees Celsius, the individual water particles cling together in a different way. They can no longer move, but they settle into a pattern that makes the water more solid and makes it harder for the molecules to separate. Imagine the group of people holding hands again. Now imagine they all lie down in a circle, still holding hands. They can't run around anymore, but it is now harder to separate them.I hope that answers your question.

How does the speed of sound depend on the medium?

you see. the denser the medium, the faster the sound travels. imagine a gas, particles are far apart transferring sound energy/waves will not be so fast. imagine a solid, like metal particles are close together, sound travels faster since it is transferred easily

Concerning the effect of temperature on diffusion the higher the temperature the faster the movement is this statement true or false?

No, it's false. Because temperature has nothing to do with diffusion.Diffusion is like this, imagine that you are pouring a water on a bathtub, if you pour the water on one side of the bathtub, the water will still go to the other side of the bathtub and then the water will be leveled inside the bathtub. Therefore no matter what temperature it won't affect the movement of water.


Why does the air in a balloon condense in refrigerator?

This is fully explained by the Ideal Gas Laws. Temperature, volume, and pressure are all directly inter-related in a gas. Lower temperature creates less pressure which creates a smaller balloon. If you really want to know why this happens, you need to understand what temperature is and what a gas is. Temperature is actually the average kinetic energy of the constituent particles, and a gas is a collection of independently moving atoms or molecules, so, imagine all these molecules of air, whose speed is measured by their temperature. The faster they move, the more force they exert when they collide with the balloon. The more force they exert, the more inflated the balloon will be. It makes perfect sense.
