What else can I help you with?
Are the particles in a solid moving or still?
Technically, all particles in a Solid, Liquid, or Gas are moving. But a gas moves the fastest, liquid fast, but not as fast as gas, and solid moves the slowest.
How are the particls of a liquid different from the particles of a solid?
In a liquid, particles are more loosely packed and able to move past each other, whereas in a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions. The intermolecular forces in a liquid are weaker than in a solid, allowing the particles to flow and take the shape of their container.
Does a solid liquid or gas have particles that vibrate but cannot move past each other?
In a solid, particles vibrate but do not move past each other. The particles are tightly packed and held in fixed positions by strong forces of attraction. This restricts their ability to move freely within the substance.
When a solid is heated up it turns into a liquid it?
When a solid is heated, it gains energy which causes its particles to vibrate faster. Eventually, this increased vibration overcomes the forces holding the particles in a fixed position, leading to the solid melting and turning into a liquid.
How would you characterize the diffusion of solid liquid and gas?
In a solid, particles are closely packed and vibrate in fixed positions. In a liquid, particles are close but can move past each other. In a gas, particles are far apart and move freely in all directions.
What can particles of a liquid do that the particles of a solid can't do?
The particles of a solid can only vibrate about their fixed positions while the particles of a liquid can vibrate, rotate and translate (move from 1 place to another) within the liquid.
Do particles in a solid move faster than particles in liquid?
No, particles in a solid only vibrate, whereas particles in a liquid are free to move within the liquid.
Are particles far apart in a solid?
No, particles in a solid are closely packed together in a regular arrangement. They vibrate in place but do not move around freely like in a liquid or a gas.
What do the particles in matter do?
It depends if it's a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. Solid particles will stay still and vibrate.
Can the particles of a solid move around?
Yes, the particles of a solid can vibrate in place but cannot move around freely like particles in a liquid or gas.
Particles in a liquid move around just as freely as particles in a solid?
Solid: Locked in a crystaline structure, however they do vibrate slightly. Liquid: Particles are attracted to one another but can flow freely. Gas: Particles move with total freedom.
Are the particles in a solid moving or still?
Technically, all particles in a Solid, Liquid, or Gas are moving. But a gas moves the fastest, liquid fast, but not as fast as gas, and solid moves the slowest.

In a liquid, particles are more loosely packed and able to move past each other, whereas in a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions. The intermolecular forces in a liquid are weaker than in a solid, allowing the particles to flow and take the shape of their container.
What are three states that matter can exist in?
The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In a liquid, particles are more spread out and can flow. In a gas, particles are far apart and move freely.
Difference between the movement of particles in a solid and in a liquid?
The particles(atoms or molecules solids don't move to much and the particles in liquids always move
All solid and liquid particles do this except at absolute zero?
All solid and liquid particles vibrate or move except at absolute zero when they theoretically come to a complete stop due to minimal energy.
What unusual happens when water changes from a liquid to a solid?
The particles begin to come closer and attach to eachother, then when their solid they begin to vibrate :)
