What depends upon how close the individual particles are together?

The state of matter depends on the closeness of the particles. Gases have particles that are very far apart and solids are close together. This is determined by the strength of attraction of these particles to one another.

Particles in a solid are packed so close together they can only what?
vibrate
How do particles behave in a solid?
the atoms move much slower than in liquids, gases, and plasmas.
Ions are held close together by a?
The answer depends on if they are atoms or in an ionic bond. In an ionic bond oppositely charged ion are held together by the electronic force of attraction that exists between oppositely charged particles.
How does particle theory explain how solids keep there shape?
Because the particles are close together <-- simple because the particles are close together and it wont move around or it wont compress so it dosent separate. its like glue it sticks together and by the way i am only 10 and i know all this ;P
Pure water is an example of?
...Liquid. Everything in the world is a liquid, solid or a gas. In a Solid the particles are very close together and the particles can't move very easily. In a Liquid the particles are a bit more free they are less cramped together. In a Gas there are not many particles so they can move very freely.
Are particles of a gas close together?
No they are the furtherst away out of solids, liquids and gases.
What happens when particles in a solid are packed so close together?
particles in a solid are packed so close together they can only
Can you compress a gas because its particles are close together?
No. You can compress a gas because the particles are NOT close together. If they are close together (as in a solid) it is extremely difficult to compress any further.
What is the part of the longitudinal wave where the particles are close together called?
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
Particles in a solid are what?
Metallic solids are composed of individual atoms.
Are gases are made of particles that are far apart compared with those of liquids and solids?
Usually yes, but the distance between the particles depends on pressure. A gas at high pressure can actually have particles fairly close together.
Are particles in a balloon packed close together?
no, the air inside balloons is a gas and therefore the particles are moving quickly and are spread out, bouncing off the sides of the balloon. Particles in solids are packed close together.
Are particles close together in a gas?
That depends on the gas and it's concentration. That was the last answer... however... to be more specific the gas particles in a gas are spread out if u meant as in normal activeness of the particles. :) in a sold, they are close together because a solid is closed up and usually not as much air goes into them. in a liquid they are not as close as in a solid but not as far as in a gas. It is medium of CLOSE and far from one another in particle meaning. :) hope i helped
How are particles of a liquid different from the particles of a solid?
The particles of a solid are close together and the particles of a liquid are slightly farther apart.
Are the particles in steam close together?
steam is a gas so the particles are far apart
What is the movement particles of solid?
In solids, particles tend to stay still, and are close together
How does a liquid to a gas?
When a gas is cooled the individual particles of the gas lose energy. As this energy is lost these particles start slowing down as they flow less. Once they have lost sufficient energy the particles come close enough together that they can be perceived as a liquid.
