The properties of both ionic and molecular compounds are related to the?
strengths of attraction between the particles in the compounds
How do you describe solids?
doesnt take the shape of its container
How do you describe the movement particles in a solid a liquid and a gas?
In a solid particles vibrate and stay in one spot, however due to vibrating, they may move slightly. In liquids, they bounce around in a small area relitvly close to their "spot". In a gas, particles bounce around freely, moving around all of the given space. To relate , a solid's particles are like vibrating cell phone, staying in place. However gas's are like bouncy ball enclosed in a jar
What is the difference between solids and liquids based on their atomic?
The difference between solids and liquids at the atomic level is primarily in the degree of freedom of motion that the particles have. In a solid the particles are closely packed together and have very limited movement meaning that the solid maintains a fixed shape. In a liquid the particles have more freedom of movement meaning that the liquid can take the shape of its container. Solids: Particles are closely packed together and have very limited movement the solid maintains a fixed shape. Liquids: Particles have more freedom of movement the liquid can take the shape of its container.
Can you list ten properties of liquids?
The particles are not fixed.The liquid will change to the shape of the container it is held in.There is some attraction between particles.The particles have more kinetic energy than in a solid state.The particles have less kinetic energy than in a gaseous state.When cooled liquids may solidify to a solid.When heated liquids may evaporate to gases.1L of pure H2O at 4 degrees celcius at normal pressure has a mass of 1kg

Why does gas not have a define shape?
A gas doesn't have a definite shape because it's made up of particles that are constantly in motion and that have an attraction. Gases particles have a weak attraction and are moving so fast that they don't have a definite shape. No it doesnt it doesnt have a define volume either.
What are the evidence in support of the particulate nature of matter?
Propeties of solid, liquid and gas. Solid- particles are closely packed together and vibrate amongst themsleves. Has a definte shape. Sting force of attraction between the molecule. Liquid- particles either move freely or in clusters. Weak force attraction between the molecule. Takes the shape of the container. Gas- particles move independantly of each other. Little to no force of attraction between the molecules. They spread out to occupy any open space and can be compressed easily.
How does freezing change state of matters?
By definition, freezing is the change of a liquid to a solid. You see, in a liquid, the forces of attraction and repulsion between particles (atoms or molecules) are equal. Because of this, liquids are fluids (they take the shape of their containers and flow without changes in density). In solids, however, the forces of attraction between particles are greater than the forces of repulsion. Because of this, solids retain a specific shape and density. Therefore, when a liquid freezes, its particles loose part of the energy which supports the forces of repulsion, and the forces of attraction become grater, thus becoming a solid.
How do the particles in matter affect its properties?
when the particles gain energy,they move more vigorously.pressure increases but the volume remains constant.therefore,the matter changes shape as the particles use this energy to break the attractive forces between them....
How do the molecules behave in a liquid?
In liquids, the bond between molecules is not very strong, they are loosely attached to each other.. They have a definite mass. However they do not have a definite shape, they take the form of the container they are stored in.
How does the particle structure of a solid affect its shape volume and compressibility?
In solid states, the particles are unable to move and there is no free space between them. This gives them a fixed shape and volume. As they cannot move, they cannot be compressed.
Define the two properties of matter that determine its state?
Volume and Shape determine the state of matter. so that means that volume is the same as shape and that is the matter that detirmins its state the book you are using is new york sience gleonce book right???? Correction:The motion of the particles and the strength of attraction between the particles determine a material's state of matter.
What is a particle module?
the particle model of matter states: 1. All matter is made up of very small particles. The particles are much too small to observe with the naked eye or with a light microscope. 2. There are spaces between the particles. The amount of space between the particles is different for different states of matter. For example, gases have much more space between particles than solids do. 3. The particles are attracted to each other. The strength of the attraction depends on the type of material. Extra Information: Solid: Particles are packed together tightly. This means that a solid will hold a definite shape. They particles are constantly vibrating in place. Liquid: Particles are in contract with each other, but can slip and slide past one anther. This means that a liquid takes shape of the container. Gas:Particles have large spacing. Can move freely in all directions. Takes the shape of the container.
Particles that have space between them take the shape of the contanier?
These are called fluids
How does such motion affect the matter's volume and shape?
It Moves the particles diffrent direction and that's what makes the difference :)
