How do molecules move within a solid liquid and gas?
In a solid the molecules are tightly packed together all touching one another and vibrate; in a liquid the molecules are more loosely packed and more free to move around but they are still touching; in a gas the molecules are free to move where they please
Are the particles of a gas held together by strong attractive forces?
The molecules of a gas have mass, so there's naturally the force of gravitational attraction between them. But that force is so small that it's entirely negligible in describing the behavior of a gas, and the answer to your question is "virtually no".
Why are liquids more fluid than solids?
A liquid is a fluid. Unlike a solid, the molecules in a liquid have a much greater freedom to move. The forces that bind the molecules together in a solid are only temporary in a liquid, allowing a liquid to flow while a solid remains rigid.
Why can't we compress a solid block of steel?
In a solid like steel, the atoms are packed as close together as possible. This being the case they can not be compressed together further so you can not compress (reduce the volume of) a solid block of steel.
Why do solids have definite shape?
Solid have definite shape because the particles of solid are closely packed together and they cannot move freely. Therefore the force of attraction of particles in solid is more.
What phase of matter has loosely packed molecules with a distinct boundary?
The gas phase of matter has molecules that are loosely packed with a distinct boundary. Gas molecules are free to move around and are not held together in a fixed position like in a solid or liquid.
Are molecules in liquids packed loosely or tightly?
Usually a liquid, but some solids, like ice, have the molecules more spread apart, making it less dense than the liquid. If, by "loosely packed," you mean being able to slide past each other, then the liquid is always the answer.
How a substance flows?
A substance can flow if its molecules are loosely packed when compared to a solid.
How do molecules move within a solid liquid and gas?
In a solid the molecules are tightly packed together all touching one another and vibrate; in a liquid the molecules are more loosely packed and more free to move around but they are still touching; in a gas the molecules are free to move where they please
How are molecules arranged in the different phrases?
In a solid, molecules are closely packed together in a fixed arrangement. In a liquid, molecules are more loosely packed and have more freedom to move around. In a gas, molecules are widely spaced and move freely in all directions.
What charateristics of molecules are packed together?
solid
What is different at the molecular level between a solid and a liquid?
At the molecular level, the main difference between a solid and a liquid is the arrangement and movement of molecules. In a solid, molecules are tightly packed together in a fixed position, vibrating in place. In a liquid, molecules are more loosely packed and can move around each other, allowing the liquid to flow.
Molecular arrangement of solid liquid gas?
Molecules inside liquids are loosely bonded to their neighboring molecules. The bonds are constantly breaking and reforming so the liquid can flow. This also keeps the liquid at a constant volume.
In which form of substance do the molecules have the strongest attractions to one another?
solid because the molecules are packed closely together
Why are molecules closer when its a solid?
molecules that start closing together turn into solid example: think of water, when molecules are loose the water is liquid but when the molecules are packed together the water turns into ice
The state of matter in which there is little movement of molecules is a?
solid. In a solid, the molecules are tightly packed together and have minimal movement compared to liquids and gases.
A group of molecules squeezed together is called a?
A group of molecules squeezed together is called a solid. In a solid, the molecules are closely packed and have fixed positions relative to each other.
