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".

At room temperature the greatest attractive forces exist between particles of?

At room temperature, the greatest attractive forces exist between particles of solids because the particles are closely packed together and have strong intermolecular forces such as Van der Waals forces or hydrogen bonding.


What keeps the particles in a solid in their arrangement?

In a solid, the particles are held together by strong attractive forces between them, such as metallic, covalent, or ionic bonds. These forces prevent the particles from moving freely and maintain their fixed positions in the solid's arrangement.


When the attractive forces holding particles together are strong enough to hold them together as a group but not as a fixed position they form a what?

Liquid. The liquid state lies between the gaseous and the solid state. The cohesive (attractive) forces between the liquid particles are strong enough to keep them together but not to keep them in a fixed position.


If the attractive forces between particles are strong enough to keep them together as a group but not hold them in a fixed posittion the particles make up a?

You think probable to a liquid.


Are the particles in common salt held by weak attractive forces?

No, the particles in salt are Sodium ions (Na+) and Chlorine ions (Cl-) which are held together by the electrostatic force in ionic bonds which are strong. This is why salt has a high melting point.


What happens to the particles in a solid when it dissolved?

The particles in the solid (solute) break apart and form links with the particles in the liquid (solvent). There are strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solute. These forces keep the particles together and make the solute a solid because they attract the solute particles tightly together. There are also strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solvent. These forces keep the particles together and make the solvent a liquid because they attract the solvent particles slightly together. There is also an attractive force between the solute and solvent particles. To break these forces and from a bond between the solute and solvent particles energy is needed. This energy is gained from heat (the process of dissolving is speeded up through heat.) In conclusion, the particles in a solute break apart of their attractive forces and form bonds with the solvent particles through the attraction between the solute and solvent particles and through the energy gained by heat.


Which phase of matter has the strong attractive force?

The solid phase of matter typically has the strongest attractive forces between particles. This is because the particles are closely packed together and have limited freedom of movement, allowing for strong intermolecular interactions.


Why Solids are strong?

Solids are strong because their particles are closely packed together, making it difficult for them to move. This close packing results in strong attractive forces between the particles, providing stability to the structure of the solid. Additionally, the regular arrangement of particles in the solid contributes to its strength by distributing forces evenly throughout the material.


When the attractive forces are strong enough to hold together as a group but arent in a fixed position forms what?

liquid.


How state of matter is made up of atoms and molecules that have a comparatively low amount of kinetic energy which does not allow the particles to break free from the attractive forces between themW?

In a state of matter with low kinetic energy, such as a solid or a liquid, the particles (atoms or molecules) are not moving as fast as in a gas, so they are held together by strong attractive forces. These forces prevent the particles from breaking free and moving independently, giving the substance its characteristic shape and volume.


How are strong forces and electrical forces similar?

Strong forces and electrical forces are similar in that they both act at a distance between particles and are responsible for holding atoms and particles together. They are both fundamental forces in nature that play a critical role in the structure and behavior of matter.


What is the force of attractive force between particles in the nucleus?

The attractive force between particles in the nucleus is known as the strong nuclear force. It is responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in the nucleus. This force is extremely strong but acts only over very short distances.
