Do molecules move faster in a liquid?
Molecules actually move faster in liquid because they have more space between them to move about. That's why liquid can flow, and a solid cannot. =)
How are molecules in a particular solid different from the molecules of the substance in a liquid form?
molecules in solids are stationary whilst those in gases and liquids move around, more though in liquid.
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.
What is the definition for liquid solid and gas?
They are the three states of matter for all substances. A solid has molecules packed tightly together; a liquid has molecules that have some room to move; gases have molecules that can move freely. eg for water the solid state is ice, the liquid state water and the gas state water vapour (steam)
Relate changes in thermal energy to changes of state?
Heat is the intrinsic energy of a piece of matter. If it is least the body is solid, liquid if it is more & gas if it is most. The motion of the molecules in the body determines it. Mostly the molecules due to attractive forces & ordering in space are tightly bound in a solid giving it the rigidity & shape. When they acquire sufficient energy to move about freely, yet held within the body (due to interaction of attractions that makes the surface of the liquid) it is liquid. But when the motion & velocity is such as to break the molecules free from each other it becomes a gaseous body. Heat is the measure of average kinetic energy of the molecules.
Do molicules move faster in a solid or in a liquid?
Molecules in a liquid move faster than in a solid because the intermolecular forces in a liquid are weaker, allowing molecules to move around more freely. In a solid, molecules are held tightly in a fixed position by strong intermolecular forces.
What do molecules move faster in a solid liquid or gas?
Molecules move fastest in a gas, then in a liquid, and slowest in a solid. In a gas, molecules have high kinetic energy and move freely, while in a liquid, molecules can slide past each other but are still somewhat restricted. In a solid, molecules have the least amount of kinetic energy and vibrate in fixed positions.
What occurs when molecules are distributed evenly through a solid liquid or a gas?
When molecules are evenly distributed through a solid, liquid, or gas, we say that the substance is in equilibrium. In a solid, the molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In a liquid or gas, the molecules move freely and randomly.
When you heat a solid and it melts becomes a?
It becomes a liquid. solid, liquid, and gas are relative terms defining the movement of molecules, solid moves slow, liquid faster, and gas the fastest. molecules move constantly.
Do particles in a solid move faster than particles in liquid?
No, particles in a solid only vibrate, whereas particles in a liquid are free to move within the liquid.
Which particles move freely in straight lines between liquid solid and gas?
Liquid for sure. As the particles in solid only vibrate and gas particles move about at random. Liquid particles are free to move past each other but, the tend to stick together. Hope that helped.
Are the molecules in water closer together when it is a solid or when it is a liquid?
when the water molecules are of a liquid, they are farther apart and able to move around the space of the liquid as apposed to a solid where the molecules are closely packed together and cannot move much. i hope that answers your question.
Do molecules move faster in a liquid?
Molecules actually move faster in liquid because they have more space between them to move about. That's why liquid can flow, and a solid cannot. =)
Is the force of attraction stronger in the molecules of a solid or liquid?
The force of attraction is generally stronger in the molecules of a solid compared to a liquid. In a solid, the molecules are closely packed and have limited movement, allowing for stronger intermolecular forces to hold them together. In a liquid, the molecules have more freedom to move, resulting in weaker intermolecular forces.
Why are liquids and solids different?
A liquid will fit in any shape of a (larger) container, a solid does not, because of its own 'solid' shape.
Do molecules have more freedom of movement in the solid state than in the liquid state?
No, molecules have more freedom of movement in the liquid state compared to the solid state. In solids, molecules are tightly packed and have limited translational and rotational movement. In liquids, molecules have more space to move around and slide past each other, allowing for greater freedom of movement.
What does a molecule for solid liquid and gas look like?
In a solid, the molecules are very close and compact with very no space to move around. In a liquid the molecules have little space to move around, and in a gas, the molecules are very spaced out. The gas molecules move around a lot because they have so much space between and around them. Hope this helped..
