What happens when atoms vibrate extremely slow?
When atoms vibrate extremely slowly, they are solid.
What is the speed of the atoms in a solid?
Particles in a solid are always moving . They vibrate rapidly about their fixed positions . Their vibration speed depends on the temperature of the solid . The higher the temperature , the faster is the vibration ( movement ) .
What happen to atoms when there is a change from a liquid to a gas?
The actual atom doesn't change but as the state changes from liquid to gasthe distance between the atoms increases and therefore they move around more freely.
Why do particles vibrate?
The particles in copper are close together because it is a type of solid. Solids have a definite shape and mass. Copper is a type of metal, which is a great conductor. Any item with hardness is a solid, for copper is a solid
What happens during the soldification process?
When a liquid or gaseous chemical/element solidifies, or freezes, the particles that it is made up of (either atoms or molecules) lose energy into whatever they are touching, be it air, another solid, or a liquid. As their energy level reduces, they lose their tendency to move and solidify. However, they still vibrate in their positions, but not enough to move past one another. the only time they do not vibrate is at absolute zero (0 degrees Kelvin, or -459.67 degrees Fahrenheit.
Do particles in a solid vibrate around a fixed point?
No, the vibrations depend on how much energy the particles have. If a solid is heated from the left side, the particles on the left will vibrate more than the particles on the right. Solid particles vibrate as each individual particle, not as a group or around a fixed point.
What compare the solid in liquid?
In a solid state atoms do not move much. They just vibrate in a fixed position. In a liquid state atoms move around frequently and do not stay in fixed positions.
Can chocolate vibrate?
the atoms, like all atoms, in chocolate can vibrate because atoms are always moving. but you wouldn't see it vibrate
What statement correctly compares the motion of atoms in liquid mercury and solid copper?
Copper atoms vibrate around fixed together, whereas Mercury atoms more around while staying close together- NovaNet
Are atoms in a solid changed when the solid becomes a liquid?
No, they will vibrate more but they didn't change.
How does the vibration of atoms relate to the phases of matter?
In the solid phase, the atoms are tightly packed in a regular manner. They only vibrate in their own positions. In the liquid phase, the atoms are slightly more disordered and irregularly packed. They can move around freely. In the gaseous phase, the atoms have very large spaces between one another and they can move around at very high speeds.
What happens when atoms vibrate extremely slow?
When atoms vibrate extremely slowly, they are solid.
Do atoms vibrate less when they are hotter?
No, they vibrate more.
What atoms are attracted to each other but can change positions with each other?
Liquid :)
What are Atoms attracted to each other but can change positions with each other?
Liquid :)
What vibrates if you heat a solid?
The atoms vibrate. The atoms of a solid do not move freely, they just vibrate. Hope this helps! :D
How do particles move in solids?
They don't move around per se, but the stay in one place and vibrate
