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.

Are solid particles packed close toghether?

I think that what you mean to ask is, are the particles in a solid packed close together, which they are, particularly in comparison to a gas, in which the particles are rather distant from each other. However, you can pack solid particles in various ways, closely or distantly. The solidity of the particle does not dictate the type of packing.


When the potential energy of a material changes what happens to the materials what of matter changes?

In a solid the particles are close together and in fixed positions In a liquid the particles are still really close together but can move around past each other In a gas the particles are free to move and far apart During a state change the particles in the substance will change from being in one of the above to another


What is the Rank states of matter in order from the slowest to fastest movement of particles?

The rank of states of matter from slowest to fastest movement of particles is as follows: solid, liquid, gas, plasma. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and have the least amount of movement. In a liquid, particles have more freedom to move around but are still relatively close together. In a gas, particles have the most freedom of movement and are spread out. Plasma is the fastest state of matter, with particles moving at incredibly high speeds due to the presence of free electrons and ions.


What happens to the motion of particles in a solid and liquid and gas?

In a solid the particles are packed tightly together in a more raged formation . in a liquid the particles move passing each other in a gas the particles move freely in the space they have


Is snow a liquid?

Not really. Snow is minute particles of ice loosely joined together, and when you pack it together hard, all the particles of ice come together and makes one big lump of ice. Another thing; If it was liquid, it would be called rain, not snow.

How are particles of a liquid different from the particles of a solid?

The particles of a solid are close together and the particles of a liquid are slightly farther apart.


Is a bromine a liquid a solid or a gas when the arrangement particles are close together but random?

What is the arrangement of particles in liquid?

In a liquid, particles are close together but have more freedom of movement than in a solid. The particles in a liquid are constantly moving, sliding past each other, and are not arranged in a fixed pattern like in a solid.


Particles in a liquid?

Insolubles particles form a suspension.


Are the particles in a solid movig or still?

Still because the particles are so close together that they can't move, unlike a liquid or gas.


Are the tiny particles closer together in a solida liquidor gas?

The tiny particles in a solid are closest together, followed by those in a liquid, and then those in a gas. In a solid, the particles are tightly packed and have little space to move, while in a liquid, particles are more spread out but still close together. In a gas, particles are farthest apart and have more freedom of movement.


Is bromine a solid liquid or gas when the arrangement of particles is close together in a regular pattern?

Any substance with an arrangement of particles close together in a regular pattern is a SOLID. It is, infact, probably the best definition of a crystalline solid we have. The interesting thing is that this bromine must have been cooled a lot because bromine is normally a liquid at room temperature and pressure.

Why can you not compress a liquid?

The particles in a liquid are close together. In a solid the particles are tightly packed together so you cannot compress them at all. The particles in a gas are far apart, so when they are compressed the volume of the gas reduces. The bonds in a liquid are not as close as those in a solid but they are still too close for compression.


Which state of matter has particles that are close together but able to slide past each other?

That would be liquid because in a solid, they are stuck and in a gas, they are far apart but in a liquid the particles move around but are still close together.


Are the particles in a liquid are usually closer together than the particles in a solids?

No, the particles in a solid are usually closer together than the particles in a liquid. In a solid, the particles are tightly packed and have a fixed position, while in a liquid, the particles are more loosely packed and can move around.


What is a state of matter when the particles are close together but can move?

If you are asking when particles are "able to move freely" that would be a liquid. If you simply ask about "moving" then that would be a solid, since in a solid the particles are still movings.
