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
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.
In a longitudinal wave, the particles of the medium oscillate back and forth in the same direction as the wave propagation. When the particles are close together, the wave is in compression, where the particles are closest together.
The region of a compressional wave where particles are close together is called the compression zone. In this zone, particles are crowded closely together, creating areas of high pressure.
When sound particles are close together, it is called compression. This occurs during the peaks of a sound wave, where air molecules are densely packed together.
steam is a gas so the particles are far apart
In solids, particles tend to stay still, and are close together
The particles of a solid are close together and the particles of a liquid are slightly farther 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.
They don't they are close together and immobile.
The energy is slow ; particles are close together
