The substance's state (solid / liquid / gas), density, temperature, etc, is determined by motion and spacing of particles.

Compare the motion and spacing ofbthe molecules in a solid to the motion and spacing of molecules in a gas?

The motion of molecules in a solid will be extremely slow. The spacing is very close to one another.THe opposite is true of gas. The molecules are extremely fast and they are spaced far apart.


What is the spacing of particles?

The spacing of particles refers to the distance between individual atoms or molecules in a substance. In solids, particles are closely packed and have minimal spacing, leading to fixed shapes. In liquids, the spacing is greater than in solids, allowing for fluidity while still maintaining some intermolecular attraction. In gases, particles are far apart, resulting in high energy and the ability to fill their container.


What is the particle spacing in evaporation?

The particle spacing in evaporation refers to the distance between individual particles of a liquid as it transitions to a gaseous state. As the liquid evaporates, the spacing between particles increases, leading to the conversion of the liquid into vapor.


How can you describe the motion of the particles in a solid?

The particles are tightly packed so they vibrate.


Are particles that are close together in gas liquid or solid?

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.


What is the motion of particles?

Brownian motion


Is the random movement and mixing of particles?

Brownian motion is the random moving and mixing of particles.


Do the particles in solids move?

Particles within are limited to vibrational motion, unlike the particles which make up liquids which can have vibrational & translational motion, and gaseous particles which have vibrational, translational and rotational motion.


Particles move randomly and are well spaced out?

In a gas, particles move randomly due to collisions with other particles and the container walls. The spacing between gas particles is relatively large compared to the size of the particles themselves. This randomness and spacing contribute to the properties of gases, such as their ability to expand to fill a container.


How does the particles of gases affect one another's motion?

In gases, particles move freely and collide with each other and the walls of their container. These collisions are elastic, meaning that kinetic energy is conserved, and they occur without significant interactions between the particles beyond the point of collision. The random motion and spacing of gas particles result in minimal influence on each other's paths, leading to the overall behavior of gases being described by laws of probability and thermodynamics. As a result, the motion of individual gas particles is largely independent, though collective behavior can be observed in terms of pressure and temperature.
