What are the differences between the arrangement of particles in solids, liquids and gases?
Nattapon Manhadee
the particle arrangements of a liquid is that the particles and atoms are a bit separated from each other. In a solid, they are closely packed together. In a gas they have no particular particle arrangement and are very far apart.

Solids :-
They are all together (Packed and closed)
Liquid :-
They are a little free compared to solids!
Gas :-
They are very far apart from each other and less particles too!

∙ 13y agoIn a solid, particles are very close together. They are always moving, but in a solid, they merely vibrate because space is so limited. The particles are tightly packed because there is a strong attraction between them.
In a liquid, particles are further apart but still interact with each other. These particles move more freely than solids, but not as freely as a gas.
In a gas, particles are the furthest apart. They still interact with each other, but interactions are very weak because particles are excited and are moving quickly. Particles can be imagined as whizzing past other particles at a high speed, barely acknowledging the other's presence.

∙ 11y ago- Particles in a:
- gas are well separated with no regular arrangement.
- liquid are close together with no regular arrangement.
- solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
- Particles in a:
- gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds.
- liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.
- solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place

∙ 12y agoSolids - the particles are close together Liquids - In a non-uniform and non-static, close-packed manner.
Gases - they float around the space they are in

∙ 14y agoin a solid they are in neat rows and move around in a liquid they arent the close to eache other and have more spaces in them and in gases they move around and go so fast they vibrate

∙ 12y agoParticels in solids move back and forth very slowly. Liquids move a little faster than solids do, and particels in gasses are bouncing all over the place!

Densely packed arrangement of particles that take the shape of their container?
liquids because water and other liquids take shapes of their containers
What are the differences between solids and liquids?
A Solid has a mass and takes up space where liquids have mass but do not stay in shape.
Describe the movements of molecules particles of liquid when liquids mix with other liquids?
When two liquids that will mix with each other are placed together, one will diffuse throughout the other but at a much slower rate than in the case with gases. This property is due to the arrangement of the particles in a liquid as opposed to the arrangement of molecules in a gas.
Why are gases more compressible than liquids?
With gases, there is already a lot of space in between the particles. Therefore, the particles can be pushed more closely together than in liquids, since the particles in liquids are already much closer together.
Two differences between liquids and solids?
There are a few differences between liquids and solids. Two of these differences are that a solid is solid at room temperature, while a liquid remains fluid. A liquid will fill the shape of whatever container it rests in, while a solid maintains its shape.
What is the definition of a particle arrangement?
The distinction between states (that is solids, liquids and gases) is based on differences in molecular interelationships

The definitions for the three states of matter?
Solid - particles are tightly packed, in a regular pattern Liquid - particles are close together, with no regular arrangement Gas - particles are extremely far apart, with no regular arrangement http://www.chem.purdue.edu/gchelp/liquids/character.html
What is the similarity between the particles of liquids and solids?
not easily compressible
Do liquids have greatest spaces between particles so they can be compressed?
No, gasses do.

What do solids and liquids have that gases dont?
big spaces between the particles???
Why can't liquids be heaped like solids?
because the force of attraction between the molecules of solid is quite high. because in solids the particles are compressed together. there isn't much space between these particles. however in liquids the space between particles is more and hence it can move more freely.:)

What are the differences between liquids and gases?
Liquids have a definite volume and an indeffinate shape. A gass has an indefinate volume, and an indefinate shape.
