What else can I help you with?
Particles in a solid are packed so close together they can only what?
Particles in a solid are packed so close together that they can only vibrate in place. This is why solids have a fixed shape and volume. The strong forces of attraction between particles hold them in a fixed position.
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
Where are molecules close together?
Molecules are close together in solids because the particles are tightly packed and have little room to move around. This results in a fixed shape and volume for solids.
Are the tiny particles closer together in a solida liquidor gas?
The tiny particles in a solid are closest together, followed by those in a liquid, and then those in a gas. In a solid, the particles are tightly packed and have little space to move, while in a liquid, particles are more spread out but still close together. In a gas, particles are farthest apart and have more freedom of movement.
Why are solid particles close together?
Solid particles are close together because they have strong intermolecular forces holding them in a fixed position. These forces prevent the particles from moving freely, resulting in a close-packed arrangement. The close proximity of particles in solids gives them a definite shape and volume.
The physical state of a type of matter depends mostly upon how what is arranged and how they move?
The physical state of matter depends on how close together the particles are and how they move. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In a liquid, particles are close together but can move past each other. In a gas, particles are far apart and move freely.
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.
What is close together in a longitudinal wave?
In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth in the same direction as the wave propagation. When the particles are close together, the wave is in compression, where the particles are closest together.
What is the region of a compressional wave where particles are close together called?
The region of a compressional wave where particles are close together is called the compression zone. In this zone, particles are crowded closely together, creating areas of high pressure.
What is it called when sound particles are close together?
When sound particles are close together, it is called compression. This occurs during the peaks of a sound wave, where air molecules are densely packed together.
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 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.
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.
Particles in a solid are what?
Metallic solids are composed of individual atoms.
