I would guess that you are referring to Brownian motion. When a fine dust is spread on the surface of water you can observe the motion of the dust particles through a microscope as they are struck by water molecules.

What kind of solid has an irregular pattern of particles?

A solid with an irregular pattern of particles is called an amorphous solid. Unlike crystalline solids, which have a regular and repeating pattern of particles, amorphous solids have particles arranged in a random and disordered manner. Examples of amorphous solids include glass and some types of plastics.


What makes a solid different then a liquid?

Solids have a fixed shape and volume, with particles arranged in a tightly packed and orderly manner. Liquids, on the other hand, have a definite volume but take the shape of their container, with particles less tightly packed and able to move past one another.


Isomers of trisoxalatochromate ion?

The trisoxalatochromate ion has two isomers: fac-trisoxalatochromate and mer-trisoxalatochromate. In fac-isomer, the oxalate ligands are arranged in a facial manner, whereas in the mer-isomer, the oxalate ligands are arranged in a meridional manner around the chromium central atom.


The particles in a solid are spaced far apart?

Your question is a big vague. If you heat a solid, the molecules will become more energetic and move around more. If one heats a solid enough, the solid will melt, and the molecules will be given far more freedom to move around. If you continue heating the liquid it will eventually get excited enough to boil and the liquid will become a gas, which allows for even more movement between the molecules. Basically the more energy a molecule has the more room to move around it wants. Solids have little room to move, liquids have more room to move than solids, and gases have more room to move than liquids.


The periodic law states that the properties of elements will repeat when the elements are arranged by _______.?

If the elements are arranged in the order of their increasing atomic numbers, there properties are repeated in a periodic manner.

A wave are disturbance in what?

A wave is a disturbance in a medium, transferring energy without transferring matter. It causes particles in the medium to move in a periodic or oscillating manner.


What is the natural vibration of particles?

The natural vibration of particles refers to the random motion of particles due to their thermal energy. This motion causes particles to collide and interact with each other in gas and liquid states. In solids, particles vibrate around fixed positions in a repetitive manner, known as lattice vibrations.

Any particles.


What particles move back and forth?

All particles vibrate in some manner.
