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?
The particles of a solid are attracted strongly to other particles around them locking them into a fixed position in which they may only vibrate but not move freely from one position to another. The particles of a gas are the opposite. Not strongly attracted, but move randomly about bouncing off of other gas particles. This allows the gas particles to move to any position, not just remain surrounded by the same few particles.
How are the molecules in a gas different than the molecules in the liquid?
Difference is with arrangement.In liquid particles are arranged bit tightly.In gas particles move freely.
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
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 a solid liquid and gas differ?
Particles in a solid are packed tightly together, and vibrate, but don't really move around. In liquid, they are fairly close together, but are not arranged in a particular pattern, and slide over and around each other. In a gas, the particles are spread out and in no regular arrangement and move around and vibrate at high speeds. Additionally, particles in a solid move slower than particles in a liquid or gas, particles in a liquid move somewhere in the middle, and gas particles move the fastest of all.
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 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
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.
How is the movement of particles in a gas differ from the movement of particles in liquid?
I think the reason why is that the particles in a gas move freely and they move fast. Therefor the particles in a liquid slide past eachother and the reason why that they're differ from eachoth is because a gas and a liquid are differ from eachother like an example, They particles in a gas heat up and move freely
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.
