When a small source creates an scent (say an air freshener or candle) the scent spreads through a large area and decreases in intensity. This diffusion is due to the constant motion of gas particles.

What is the difference between particles in a solid and particles in a gas?

In a solid, particles are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement and vibrate in place. In a gas, particles are far apart and move freely at high speeds. Solids have definite shape and volume, while gases expand to fill their container.


If the particles of matter that make up a substance are relatively far apart and can move freely the substance?

If the particles of matter that make up a substance are relatively far apart and can move freely, the substance is likely in a gaseous state. Gas particles have a lot of space between them and move independently of one another.


What state matter has particles flying about wildly?

In a gas state, particles move freely and rapidly in random directions due to their high kinetic energy. This results in a lack of fixed shape or volume, as the particles are constantly colliding and spreading out to fill the container they are in.


Why particles in solid unable to move freely?

particles in solids are unable to move freely because the atoms that makes up the solid are tightly packed together. the molecular structure of a solid is different to that of a liquid or a gas.


How does the arrangement and movement of particles in alcohol change as they get separated from the juice?

well in a liquid the particles move freely. When it goes through a condenser it changes into gas vapour. However when it comes back out it drops as a liquid because the condenser condenses the gas and changes the gas to liquid. The particles move closer as in a gas particle they move freely. So the gas particles move closer which forms the liquid particles. They change because they condense if the go through a condenser! Sorry if itz not the answer ur not lookin for sorry

What do the particles in a gas do?

they move freely around


Can the particles of a solid move around?

Yes, the particles of a solid can vibrate in place but cannot move around freely like particles in a liquid or gas.


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.


How are the particles in a liquid different from the particles in a solid?

a gas have no definite shape so the particles can move around freely but in a liquid ,which has a definite shape, particles move around but are restricted


A gas is a collection of what that move about freely?

A gas is a collection of molecules or atoms that move about freely in all directions. They have high kinetic energy and are continuously colliding with each other and the walls of their container, creating pressure.


How are the particles in a solid arranged differently from those in a liquid?

a gas have no definite shape so the particles can move around freely but in a liquid ,which has a definite shape, particles move around but are restricted


Why can particles in a gas move freely?

Just because they can


Why the particles in a gas move freely?

Just because they can


Does a gas have particles that are held rigidly in place?

NO! gas particles move around freely and zoom all over the place. ice is made of rigid particles which is why it is a solid. a liquid is made up of s l o w l y moving particles, which is why it can move freely.


Why do gas move freely?

Gases move freely because there are more spaces between particles of gases.So they can move easily.


Are there particles in gas?

Yes, and they move freely and fill up the space that is around them unlike in a solid were the particles are tight and compacted in a fixed position. You cannot see the particles.


Particles in a liquid move around just as freely as particles in a solid?

Solid: Locked in a crystaline structure, however they do vibrate slightly. Liquid: Particles are attracted to one another but can flow freely. Gas: Particles move with total freedom.
