Explain the particle arrangement in solids liquids and gasses and energy associate with each phase?

Solids have closely-packed molecules, and very little energy
Liquids have loosely-packed molecules and some energy,
and gasses have very lose, free molecules, and very high energy.

Do mechanical waves travel faster in solids or liquids?
Mechanical waves involve the physical transfer of vibration from one particle to another within the medium. Denser materials (solids and liquids), have closer particles so this transfer of energy occurs more quickly. :)
Why does radiation usually transfer through a gas more easily than through solids or liquids?
Gas is much less dense than liquids or solids, which means that it has fewer particles (the particles generally being atoms or molecules) per unit volume, than there are in the denser materials. Hence, if something is travelling through a gas it is not going to hit as many particles a it would if it were travelling through a liquid or solid. And any time a photon hits another particle, it may be absorbed, or reflected, or defelcted in some manner by that particle.
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.
Explain why liquids and solids are not compressible?
Liquid and solid are not that compresable that's because the inter-molecular space between then is very less in comparison with GAS, which is highly compresible. - Akash Talukdar.
What does particle model mean in science?
A particle in an atom is a tiny piece of anything. It is a function word that can be used in English to form phrasal verbs. It is also a body having finite mass and internal structure but negligible dimensions.
What is the definition of a particle arrangement?
The distinction between states (that is solids, liquids and gases) is based on differences in molecular interelationships
How intermolecular forces contribute to the defining characteristics of solids liquids and gases?
please using shape, volume, particle arrangement, particle movement, and kinetic energy
How does the arrangement of particles help explain the properties of solids and liquids and gases?
Particle arrangement of SOLID particles are tightly close to each other, while LIQUID are less closer and with GAS are very far from each other. If you try to check that out in a microscope you will identify each particle and see what I meant. Except for GAS, you may not be able to do so of course. From the word GAS itself.
How are molecules arranged and moving in solids liquids and gases?
In a gas there is no real arrangement whatsoever. In liquids there is some particle to particle interaction, specifcally in the case of water polarity causes much of water's "odd behavior as a liquid. In a solid particles are arranged in a very rigid and often repeating and or crystalline structure.
What are liquids particle movement?
Rolling
Why are the particulate models of matter often being reconstructed justified and continuously revised?
it is because it is used to to explain the properties of solids,liquids and gasses in terms of arrangement and movement in particles.
What does particle mean in science?
Particle model is a scientific model of the 3 states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases.
How does the arrangement of particles determine the properties of solids liquids and gases?
Particle arrangement of SOLID particles are tightly close to each other, while LIQUID are less closer and with GAS are very far from each other. If you try to check that out in a microscope you will identify each particle and see what I meant. Except for GAS, you may not be able to do so of course. From the word GAS itself.
Are solids better conductors than liquids and gases?
particle density
Densely packed arrangement of particles that take the shape of their container?
liquids because water and other liquids take shapes of their containers
how the particles are arranged and bonded in the three states of matter by referring to particle theory?
Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of microscopic particles, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. Gas is well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
A mixture of two or more liquids is not always a solution while a gaseous mixture is always a solution explain?
To be considered a solution, it has to be a homogeneous mixture. Where you have liquids, they may not dissolve into one another, such as water and oil, and you have a clear division where the liquids don't mix. Where as gases, is they are in a closed system, are homogeneous because there is nothing there to stop the molecules from occupying a relatively homogeneous arrangement.
