Solid - Particles vibrate and rotate about a fixed position and do not diffuse measurably
Liquid - Particles move freely in all directions slowly and diffuse slowly
Gas - Particles move freely in all directions rapidly and diffuse rapidly

Which model best describes the particles of a solid and their motion?
like a brick wall
How are the particles in a solid?
Particles within are limited to vibrational motion, unlike the particles which make up liquids which can have vibrational & translational motion, and gaseous particles which have vibrational, translational and rotational motion.
Are the particles of gas are packed tightly together?
No, they are not packed tightly together. The particles in solids are. In gas, they move in random motion and are the furthest apart, compared to solids and liquids. Hope this helps :)
What model best describes the particles of a solid and their motion?
I would describe it as this: All of the particles are tightly packed together with almost no spaces between them. Their motion is very limited, unlike that of a gas where the particles are spaced further apart and they are free to move around more.
When a sample of gas is heated what happens to the motion of the particles?
The motion of particles is accelerated.
How the motion of particles differ in gases liquids and solids.?
The motion of particles in gasses, liquids, and solids are all different. Gas particles can move much more quickly than solids.
Do the particles in solids move?
Particles within are limited to vibrational motion, unlike the particles which make up liquids which can have vibrational & translational motion, and gaseous particles which have vibrational, translational and rotational motion.
What type of motion do liquids have?
They move quickly past neighboring particles.
What best describes the motion of the particles in a piece of steal?
energy
What branch of physics deals with the motion of particles by their wave properties at the atomic and subatomic levels?
Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics that deals with the motion of particles by their wave properties at the atomic and subatomic levels.
What best describes the motion on iron atoms in solid iron?
Kinetic energy best describes the motion of the particles in a piece of steel.
Which model best describes the particles of a solid and their motion?
like a brick wall
What describes the motion of very small particles?
Classical mechanics. And if you're doing what im doing then you might also want to know that quantum mechanics describes the motion of small particles.:)
How are the particles in a solid?
Particles within are limited to vibrational motion, unlike the particles which make up liquids which can have vibrational & translational motion, and gaseous particles which have vibrational, translational and rotational motion.
What name is given to the movement of particles like pollen grains on a surface of liquids?
The name of this movement is Brownian motion.
Energy that is the result of the internal motion of particles of matter is termed?
Matter is of three forms. In case of solids, the particles would vibrate and hence vibrational energy But in case of fluids, ie liquids and gases, the particles would have kinetic energy due to random motion.
Which observation most clearly supports the inference that liquids are composed of small particles in the motion?
"Brownian motion" is the seemingly random motion of particles. Small particles, suspended in water, seem to drift and jerk around randomly. Why should they do this? The most obvious explanation is that they are being constantly bombarded by even smaller particles: those that make up the liquid itself.
