The easiest way to distinguish between volcanic ash and volcanic dust particles is to compare their diameter. Seismographs can be useful in predicting volcanic eruptions because they measure earthquake activity.

Substances expand when heated because the molecules?

According to the particle theory, particles move faster and further apart when exposed to higher temperatures. When a substance is heated, its particles acquire thermal energy. These energetic particles--which are constantly vibrating, even in solid form--become very excited, and move around much more, therefore requiring more space. The substance begins to increase in volume, creating larger spaces in between its molecules to accommodate the high-energy movement. This can also cause a change in state. Particles of substance in a solid state: vibrating slightly, densely packed together, little space between molecules. Compare to, Particles of substance in a gaseous state: vibrating excitedly, larger spaces in between molecules, easily compressible (due to empty spaces) If you were to cool a substance in gaseous form, the particles would begin to lose their thermal energy, and eventually change into a liquid state.


How would air particles in a balloon at 0 C compare to air particles in a balloon at 100 C?

The individual molecules will be moving faster at 100 °C, than at 0°C. The molecules would also be further apart (ie. they would occupy a larger volume).

How does the total volume of gas particles compare to the volume of the space between the gas?

The amount of space that gas particles can take up is the size of the container, but the amount between them also is determined by the amount of space the gas takes up.

How will the forces between two charged particles compare when one particle has ten times as much charge as the other?

The force between the two charged particles will be 100 times stronger when one particle has ten times as much charge as the other. This is because the force between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of their charges.


If a colour set doesn't have the colours marked how can we distinguish the colours?

One way to distinguish colors in a set without labels is to compare them to known colors or use a color-matching guide. Alternatively, you can organize the colors by shades or hues to differentiate them based on their characteristics. Practice and experience in working with colors can also improve your ability to identify and distinguish between them in an unlabeled set.

How do forces between particles in solids compare to forces in the other states of matter?

Particles in solids are of course stronger. That binding force is called cohesion. Cohesion is more in solids than liquids than gases. By: Kiran... 9844634245

How does the electric force compare the the gravitational force?

The electric force is much stronger than the gravitational force, typically by a factor of around 10^36. This is because electric forces involve interactions between charged particles, which are inherently stronger than interactions between particles that only have mass.
