Table salt is made up of smaller clumps of particles than rock salt. To dissolve, particles of the salt must come in contact with the solvent particles than rock salt, resulting in faster dissolving. (Copied from the Pure Substance & Mixtures Section of some Nelson Literacy Science Text Book) :)

Explain the effect of temperature on the rate of dissolving using the particle theory.?

One of the five particle theory's of matter states that particles move faster at a higher temperature. When you put salt in warm water, it dissolves much faster then when you put salt in cold water because the higher the temperature the faster the salt will dissolve in the water.


When does a piece of matter have a charge?

When a piece of matter has a charge, when some of its protons have been taken away, and another particle gains protons. Also, it can loose electrons, while another particle gains electrons. Basically, all of this creates static elecricity. that is when a piece of matter has a charge. I love science! S.R.


What are the three parts of the particle theory?

There are 4 states of matter in the particle theory but only 3 are taught at keystage 3 and 4 in UK schools (high school level in the US).These three are Solid, Liquid and Gas.The fourth state of matter is plasma.


Is cell or particle smaller?

When you consider the composition of living and non living things, both can be broken down into what comprises them. If one considers non-living matter, then "particle" may be used to describe the smallest unit. As knowledge advances, a "particle" by definition has evolved i.e., quarks being the smallest "particle" of an atom whereas for years it was thought that the atom was the smallest unit of matter. Conversely, the cell is considered the smallest unit of organic (living) matter The only major difference between them is that a cell is the smallest particle of a living object and a molecule (made up of atoms) is the smallest unit of a nonliving object.


What is a small particle that is a building block of matter?

an atom because everything is made up of atoms!

Is light a matter. explain?

Light is quite complicated as it has wave-particle duality. Sometimes it acts like a particle other times like a wave. But technically no, it is not matter, it is made of energy


How will you explain the wave-particle duality of matter?

The way I see it is that neither one is true, we don't (yet) know the true nature of matter, and that the best we can do is to use the models we do understand to explain it.
