Gas molecules take more room (volume) only (less than) 10% of the total, the rest space being empty!
Or...
Gas particles spread and the volume of them increases compared to the closer packed particles of a liquid. The number of particles stays the same but the force between then weakens because of the energy that they hold, these molecules spread.
This is because they have more kinetic energy than when they are a liquid, this is because evaporation ocours when heat energy is transferred to the molecules and then this results in the energy becoming kinetic* and causing the particles to escape from where they are into the air, spreading with there energy stores (energy that they hold).
* When the energy becomes kinetic, it basically causes the particles to vibrate as a transfer of the heat energy to them. Kinetic means movement and the (movement) energy makes the molecules bounce of one and other transferring the energy rapidly.
So this basically puts forward to why the particles manage to jump out of their container, as, if the energy is transerred to a particle in quite a big amount it will manage to escape. Thus once this happens on a larger scaleb(with more partcles), evaporation is happening!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________It seems to me that the other answer above was a little brief... (and i'm not sure what the 10% thing means at all) Please edit this because i am not a rocket scientist and just tried to explain the theory as easily and clearly as possible.
Please note that if you read it all then you will understand the concept in more detail, rather than copying down the first sentence for your physics homework!
What else can I help you with?
What happens to the distance between particles of a substance as it changes from a liquid to a gas?
The distance between particles increases as a substance changes from a liquid to a gas. In the gas phase, particles are spread far apart and move freely, leading to higher distances between them compared to the closer arrangement in the liquid phase.
Are they large gaps between particles in a liquid?
No, there are very small gaps between particles in a liquid compared to a gas. In a liquid, particles are still close together but have enough space to move past one another, giving liquids their ability to flow.
What happens when the vacant spaces between the particles of a liquid decreases how can you do this?
When the vacant spaces between particles of a liquid decrease, the liquid becomes more dense and its volume decreases. This can be achieved by applying pressure to the liquid or by cooling it, which causes the particles to come closer together and occupy less space.
What particles are in a liquid can?
Particles that can be found in a liquid can include molecules of the liquid itself, dissolved solute particles, and sometimes suspended particles such as dust or bacteria. These particles contribute to the properties and behavior of the liquid.
What is the difference between the states of matter?
The main difference between the states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) lies in how the particles are arranged 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.
How is a solid different from a liquid or gas?
the distance between the particles and the average kinetic movement of the particles.
What happens to the distance between particles of a substance as it changes from a liquid to a gas?
The distance between particles increases as a substance changes from a liquid to a gas. In the gas phase, particles are spread far apart and move freely, leading to higher distances between them compared to the closer arrangement in the liquid phase.
When matter is transformed from the liquid state to the gas state the distance between the particles and the attractive forces between the particles A increases decrease or are abse?
It is a decrease.
What would happen to the inter particle spaces if a liquid is heated?
When a liquid is heated, its particles gain kinetic energy and move faster, increasing the distance between them. This causes the interparticle spaces to expand, leading to a decrease in density.
What is the particle spacing in evaporation?
The particle spacing in evaporation refers to the distance between individual particles of a liquid as it transitions to a gaseous state. As the liquid evaporates, the spacing between particles increases, leading to the conversion of the liquid into vapor.
What factor usually determines whether a substance is a solid liquid gas or plasma?
The distance between particles
Does steam or water have the greatest distance between particles?
Steam has a greater distance between particles compared to water because steam is in a gaseous state where the particles have more space between them and move more freely. Water, on the other hand, is a liquid with particles that are more closely packed together.
How will you show that by applying pressure particles of matter can be brought close together?
by applying pressure the particles of matter come and the intermolecular space between them shorten and they change their state from gas to liquid and the intermolecular space between the particles of liquid is more than that of gas.
What happen to particles when melting?
its chngein 2 a liquid
When does a liquid gradually change into a gas?
when the distance between the atoms or molecules increases the force of attraction becomes less and the atoms or particles fall apart and generate distances betwen them . gas is the same form of the element just as liquid the only difference is the distance between particles is large and the force of attraction is very less.
What will happen when you mix a powder in a liquid together?
It dissolves, exchanging it's particles with the liquid, and therefore becoming part of the liquid.
Why does diffusion happen in gases and liquids but not in solids?
the force of attraction between the particles gases is weak force of attraction between the particles in liquid is a bit strong force of attraction between the particles in solid is strongest this is the right answers,,,,,dont worry :)
