Why do solids not undergo diffusion?
Solids don't diffuse easily because they are so tightly packed together. Remember your 2nd grade teacher's drawings of molecules? Solids are very very tightly packed together, liquids have slowly moving molecules, and gasses have free flowing speedy molecules. It also is true that solids don't really conduct electricity well because they can't conduct an electric current. Once it is in water, a solid (like salt) will have its molecules broken apart from the attraction of the water molecules. That solution now carries free flowing ions that can now carry an electric current. All in all, the tightly packed molecules are extremely strong and tightly packed together which makes it almost impossible to do anything, including diffuse. Solids also have a higher boiling apart because SOLIDS ARE VERY STRONG and so are their bonds are too. It takes more energy to break them apart.
In which state are the particles closest together?
In the solid state with the highest density.(Some compounds have more 'solid states' e.g. diamond: 3.515 g·cm−3, graphite: 2.267 g·cm−3, and amorphous carbon: 1.8-2.1 g·cm−3, are all different solid states of carbon)
What are the differences between the arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases?
the particle arrangements of a liquid is that the particles and atoms are a bit separated from each other. In a solid, they are closely packed together. In a gas they have no particular particle arrangement and are very far apart.
Why doesn't silly putty break when pulled slowly?
well if you play with silly putty slowly, it wont break because the liquid, flour etc, it keeps it together
What is the correct method for heating chemicals in a test tube?
Slowly heating, stir the test tube, the test tube must be max. 50 % filled, avoid very flammable or explosive chemicals, use safety glasses, work in a ventilated fume hood if it is possible.
What sate of matter are the atoms tightly packed together move slowly?
solid
Which substance is made of molecules that move slowly and are tightly packed together in a six-sided geometric structure?
idkk
Why does a fridge not cool food properly if they are tightly packed together?
Because the cooling depends on the circulation of chilled air over, under, around, and between the various packages, tubs, jugs, cans, and bottles on the shelves. If everything is packed together tightly, then nothing in the middle can cool until everything around it has cooled, and its own heat has conducted outward, slowly, through other stuff.

Do the atoms of gasses move faster than the atoms of solids?
In a solid the atoms are tightly packed together and vibrate in place, in a liquid the atoms are loosely packed together and can move past each other, and in a gas the atoms are far apart and move freely and collide frequently.
What happends to the particals of a soild as it melts?
The particles in a solid are very tightly packed together and rigid. The particles in a liquid are less tightly packed together. When a solid like lead is heated, the particles spread out and can move more, making a liquid.

How do boa constrictors kill their prey?
