Protons and neutrons are found in the atom's nucleus and represent practically all of an atom's mass. Protons are positively charged, while neutrons are neutral. Electrons orbit the nucleus in regions called energy levels (or shells) and carry a negative charge.

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.

How do three particle types of soil (clay slit sand) differ?

Clay particles are the smallest and have the highest water retention capacity but drain poorly. Silt particles are medium-sized and have good water retention and drainage. Sand particles are the largest and have good drainage but low water retention.


What are the main factors responsible for the differences in the three states of matter?

The main factors responsible for the differences in the three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas) are the relative movement of the particles, the arrangement of the particles, and the strength of the intermolecular forces between particles. In solids, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in fixed positions, while in liquids, particles are close together but can move past one another. In gases, particles are far apart and move freely. Interactions between particles are strongest in solids and weakest in gases.

What are three major soil particles?

The three major soil particles are sand, silt, and clay. Sand particles are the largest, followed by silt which is intermediate in size, and clay particles which are the smallest. The proportions of these particles in soil determine its texture and properties.

What are the three states of mattter?

The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. In solids, particles are closely packed and have a fixed shape and volume. Liquids have particles that are close together but can move past one another, taking the shape of their container. Gases have particles that are far apart and move freely, filling the entire space of their container.
