The primary difference in particles in different sates of matter is their kinetic energy. Atoms and molecules in solids will have less kinetic energy (the energy of "vibration" or motion) than those same atoms and molecules will in the liquid state. In a gas, the atoms or molecules will have more energy than in the liquid state, and much more than in the solid state. That's the key here.
There is a bit more to this in that the atoms and molecules in solids will be "bound together" more than in the liquid state. The solid has "structure" or "shape" because of the inter-atomic or intermolecular bonds. That changes in a liquid as liquids don't hold their shape, which you knew as a part of the definition of that state of matter. It's easy to see that the atoms and molecules will be even less strongly bound together in a gaseous state, and for the same reason. But atomic or molecular kinetic energy will keep atoms or molecules apart if it is high. And it will allow them to "come together" to interact and "hook up" if it is low.
What else can I help you with?
What does a elementary particles do?
What elementary particles do would depend on what type of particle they are. For example, there are antimatter particles, force particles, and matter particles.
What is responsible for different states of matter?
Energy is responsible for different states of matter!
What existed before antimatter?
the question makes no sense, anti matter is produced when energy is converted into matter. no matter what, when energy converts into matter both matter and anti matter is created, and they can unite once more to be converted back into energy, basicly, ther is the same amount of anti matter particles as there are normal matter particles, but that's a diffrent story
What does more particles in matter do?
It makes it heavier. However, a particle is matter (please leave anti-matter and energy out of this ;)).So your question actually is: What does more matter in matter do?
How do you break matter into small particles?
You build a "Large Hadron Collider".
How do the states of matter differ in terms of motions of their particles'?
ing particles, Liquids will have moderately moving particles, and Solids will have the slowest moving
How do the states of matter differ in terms of motions of the particles?
ing particles, Liquids will have moderately moving particles, and Solids will have the slowest moving
What is matter and states of matter?
Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. There are four main states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. These states differ in the arrangement and movement of particles that make up the matter.
What is the difference between states of matter and particles of matter?
The most obvious one is that the states of matter are a "bulk property" of a large collection of interacting particles of matter, while particles of matter are the individual constituents (e.g. molecules, atoms, subatomic particles) that matter is made of and do not have any "bulk properties".
How do the state of matter differ in terms of motions of their particles?
ing particles, Liquids will have moderately moving particles, and Solids will have the slowest moving
The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made of particles whose speed is dependent on what?
The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made of particles whose speed is dependent on their mass and temperature. The kinetic theory states that particles in matter are always in motion.
Why do the states of matter differ?
because they are the four forms or states that matter can be in
Which of the following determines the states of matter?
The states of matter are determined by the arrangement and movement of particles within a substance.
The kinetic theory of matter states that all matter is composed of?
Moving particles
What result from the fact that particles in matter have energy?
The particles stay rigid in all states.
How are the state of matter differ from each other?
The state of matter differ in terms of the arrangement and movement of particles. In solids, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In liquids, particles are more loosely packed and can flow and take the shape of their container. In gases, particles are far apart and move freely in all directions.
How does sound affect mater?
sound is mainly caused by vibrating particles and matter consists of matter and the 3 states of matter are solids liqiuids and gasses and due to the way particles are spaced in the different states of matter we will have sounds travelling at different speeds as it crosses the different states of matter.
