No. The spaces between the particles in a gas are much bigger than the particles themselves. The size of a particle does not vary between the states of a substance.

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.


Evaporation using particle theory?

The Particle theory maintains that particles move more rapidly as they get more warm. As the continue to heat up, they become less dense and move even more. As this process continues, the particles expand and separate which changes their state from liquid to gas.


What is the particle theory of dissolving?

When a solid dissolves, the solid (solute) and the liquid (solvent) will form solution. When a solid dissolves on mixing, its particles will break apart hence forming loose associations with the liquid particles. This random mixing of particles from both solid and liquid that is called dissolving process. A solid will not dissolve in a liquid if its particles are unable to form these association with the respective liquid particles. This is a reversible process. Solute can be obtained back by evaporation etc.


What is the relationship between changes of state and particle movement?

Solid : The particles are held together and arranged in a regular pattern. They cannot move from one place to another but only vibrate at their own positions. The spaces between them are very little. Liquid : The particles are close together but they can move from one place to another. The spaces between them are little. Gas : The particles are far apart and move freely in all directions.


What happens to a particle in a liquid when heated?

The Particles Vibrate , Causing the liquid to evaporate leaving behind a gas. ! Sophie :)

What is the particle spacing in evaporation?

The particle spacing in evaporation refers to the distance between individual particles of a liquid as it transitions to a gaseous state. As the liquid evaporates, the spacing between particles increases, leading to the conversion of the liquid into vapor.


What is particles liquid?

Liquid particle stays in group


Why liquid particles did not join to the solid particle?

Liquid particles did not join to the solid particle because the forces holding the liquid particles together were greater than the forces attracting them to the solid particle. This is due to a combination of factors including surface tension, intermolecular forces, and the relative energy levels of the particles involved.


Is when particles of a liquid become particles of a has?

yes because the kinetic energy made in particle


Ho do the particle in a liquid move?

the particles in a liquid slide around and move about smoothly


What is the particles?

A particle is a very small bit of solid drop of liquid


Do particles in Mercury collide with one another?

All particles of all things are in constant motion. Particles in a liquid collide, but the rate is subdued by the viscosity of the liquid.


What kind of particles will be found in a liquid compound which is non-electrolyte?

The kind of particles in a non electrolyte are those that do NOT dissociate or ionize. So, one particle of a non electrolyte remains as 1 particle. If it were an electrolyte it would dissociate into more than 1 particle.


Which organizes the phases of matter from the least particle motion to the greatest particle motion?

The phases of matter in order from least particle motion to greatest particle motion are: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. In a solid, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In a liquid, the particles are more free to move around but still relatively close together. In a gas, particles move freely and rapidly, while in a plasma, particles are highly energized and move even more rapidly.


How is particle movement related to matter?

Particles and solid matter are locked into place and have very little free room between them. Particles in a liquid do not have much free space between them, but can easily move around each other. As for particles in gases, they can move freely amongst each other, and also have a lot of free space between them.


What will happen to inter particle spaces if a liquid is heated?

When a liquid is heated, its particles gain energy and move faster, causing the inter-particle spaces to increase. This results in the liquid expanding and becoming less dense.


How does the particle size of a liquid a solid and a gas compare?

Particles in a gas have the smallest size and are the most spread out, particles in a liquid are larger than in a gas and are more closely packed, and particles in a solid are the largest and are tightly packed in a regular pattern.
