What do molecules do in a solid liquid and gas?

Solid. The molecules are compacted together and vibrate at high speeds. Liquid. The molecules are still close together but are not fixed and can roll around each other. they spread to take the shape of the container. the molecules move at even higher speeds than solid. Gas. The molecules are far away from each other and move even faster than water Molecules. the spread out or shrink inward to meet the shape of the container.


Are the molecules in water close to each other?

The molecules in water are closer to each other than those of water vapor, but farther away from each other than those of ice.


What is the relationship between intermolecular forces and vaporization points?

The greater the potential of a liquid's molecules to interact with each other through intermolecular forces, the lower the vapour pressure is going to be above the liquid (because molecules will preferentially stay liquid and interact with other molecules rather than fly away as a gas), and the lower the boiling point of the liquid. Therefore the relationship is an inverse one.


What intermolecular force attracts two nonpolar molecules to each other?

Molecules will always attract each other unless they are negative. In which case tthey will push each other away.


Are the molecules in water closer together when it is a solid or when it is a liquid?

when the water molecules are of a liquid, they are farther apart and able to move around the space of the liquid as apposed to a solid where the molecules are closely packed together and cannot move much. i hope that answers your question.

Does a gas or liquid heat that its molecules move away from each other?

gas heats up and then the molecules spread away from each other, NOT liquid!


Do the molecules move away from each other when a gas or liquid away?

it washes out all the gas and liquid because there is no where else for it to go.


When a gas or liquid is heated its molecules move away from each other?

Gases expand as they are heated, as do nearly all liquids. In the course of expansion, the molecules move away from each other.


What is when molecules are attracted to each other but not ordered?

This describes a liquid.


Do liquid molecules continuously roll around each other?

molecules are constantly rolling around each other, yet staying mostly in contact, when they are hot molecules move around faster and bump into each other.

The molecules of any substance are what to each other?

The molecules of any substance are attracted together. Heat causes the molecules of a solid to separate from each other, making the solid become a liquid.


In a liquid the molecules have enough............ to ........... over each other.?

kinetic energy, slide


What intermolecular force attracts to nonpolar molecules to each other?

Molecules will always attract each other unless they are negative. In which case tthey will push each other away.


Why do molecules in solids still stay together if they move?

The forces of attraction between liquid atoms and liquid are more therefore they are close to another. This is what that keeps them close to each other.


What is the state of matter in which molecules slip and slide over each other take the shape of container and are apart but still touch each other?

Liquid.


When particles are a liquid can they separate past each other?

Molecules in a liquid can move past each other, if that's what you were trying to ask; I'm not sure what "separate past each other" is supposed to mean.
