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)


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.


Why cant 2 solids react easily?

Two solids have limited surface contact for interaction, which can slow down the reaction rate. Additionally, the molecules in solids are packed tightly together, making it difficult for them to come into contact with each other and react. Facilitating reactions between solids often requires additional energy input or the use of catalysts to overcome these barriers.


Why is honey considered the thickest liquid?

Honey is considered a thick liquid because of its high viscosity, which is due to its physical properties and high sugar content. The molecules in honey are densely packed together, causing it to flow slowly compared to other liquids.


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.

What does sound travel slowly through?

Sound travels slower through materials that are denser and have a higher elasticity. For example, sound travels more slowly through water, glass, and solids compared to air because the particles are more tightly packed together, causing sound waves to move more slowly through them.


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.


What soil types allow water to pass through very slowly?

the soil that allows water to pass through very slowly is clay


How does sound travels through the 3 states of matter?

Sound travels through solids the fastest, as the particles in solids are closely packed, enabling vibrations to propagate quickly. In liquids, sound travels at a slower speed compared to solids, as the particles are less tightly packed. In gases, sound travels slowest due to the large distance between particles, causing vibrations to propagate more slowly.


Why does water move very slowly downward through clay soil?

Water moves slowly through clay soil because clay particles are very small and close together, creating a tightly packed structure with small pore spaces. This structure restricts the movement of water and makes it difficult for water to flow freely through the soil. Additionally, clay has a high water holding capacity, so water tends to be retained within the clay particles rather than moving down quickly.


Which state of matter do particles move very slowly?

a solid has a definite shape and volume.its particles are very close together ,and they do not move very fast.
