The particles in copper are close together because it is a type of solid. Solids have a definite shape and mass. Copper is a type of metal, which is a great conductor. Any item with hardness is a solid, for copper is a solid
No they are the furtherst away out of solids, liquids and gases.
particles in a solid are packed so close together they can only
No. You can compress a gas because the particles are NOT close together. If they are close together (as in a solid) it is extremely difficult to compress any further.
Compression is the part of a longitudinal wave where the particles of the medium are crowded together. Rarefaction is the part where the particles are spread apart.
The state of matter depends on the closeness of the particles. Gases have particles that are very far apart and solids are close together. This is determined by the strength of attraction of these particles to one another.
no, the air inside balloons is a gas and therefore the particles are moving quickly and are spread out, bouncing off the sides of the balloon. Particles in solids are packed close together.
The particles of a solid are close together and the particles of a liquid are slightly farther apart.
steam is a gas so the particles are far apart
In solids, particles tend to stay still, and are close together
The energy is slow ; particles are close together
They don't they are close together and immobile.
Particle spacing is the closest together in solids. In liquids the spacing is close, however the particles have the freedom of movement. In gas, the particles have lots of kinetic energy, therefore they are far apart.
