How do particles in a solid move?

Particle in a solid, are soooo squeezed together, they cannot roam around freely. I remember that they vibrate. Although, particles in a liquid and gas, are separated and move quicker and further away from each other.


Particle model of liquid?

Liquid particles are closely arranged but they can move around each other. Solid particles are closely arranged and can only vibrate about a fixed position. Gas particles are far apart from each other and can move about in any direction.


Which particles move freely in straight lines between liquid solid and gas?

Liquid for sure. As the particles in solid only vibrate and gas particles move about at random. Liquid particles are free to move past each other but, the tend to stick together. Hope that helped.


What do the particles of a solid do?

Atoms undergo thermal vibrational motion while held in a lattice by covalent ionic metallic or other forces which hold them together but at the same time the thermal energy present at room temperature they vibrate on their lattice site itself


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.


Difference between the movement of particles in a solid and in a liquid?

The particles(atoms or molecules solids don't move to much and the particles in liquids always move


What describes a solid?

A solid has substance and shape. It's particles vibrate around a point, but do not 'flow' over each other like a liquid does. Typical 'hard' solids cannot be compressed.


In a sloid particles are colse together?

In a solid, the particles are very attracted to each other. They are close together and vibrate in position but don't move past one another. In a liquid, the particles are attracted to each other but not as much as they are in a solid.


Differences between gas liquid and solids?

gas-energetic molecules that randomly move, free from meach other liquid- cohesive force stronger than gas, can move, but cannot separate from the rest of the molecules solid- molecules held firmly in place, particles can only vibrate in place


How can the motion in particles in a gas be described?

Gas particles move quickly, rapidly bouncing off each other. unlike liquid particles that roll over each other, or particles in solids, which constantly vibrate on the spot.The individual atoms or molecules of a gas or vapour are much further apart than they are in a liquid, while atoms or molecules of solids are so close together that they cannot change places, but they can vibrate in their limited space.Its the vibration of such particles that transfers energy within the substance.If a gas becomes hotter its particles vibrate faster, causing expansion, which then creates rising currents called convection currents. Or, if not allowed to expand (as in a pressure vessel) the pressure will increase due to the more rapid and more frequent impacts of the particles against the walls of the vessel.Convection currents also occur in liquids, but cannot occur in solids.When a blacksmith heats his half-made horseshoe it is because when it is hotter the particles are further apart and it is then easier to shape the metal.Gas molecules move randomly, and Gases have high kinetic energy.
