What state of matter has molecules that are the furthest apart?
Gaseous.
How does heat affect the molecules in a substance?
They rapidly vibrate. Yes, they do, but how rapidly depends on the amount of heat (kinetic energy) added to the molecules. If solid, they will eventually melt depending on which solid and what its melting point is. If liquid, they will eventually become a gas or vapor, and a gas will expand indefinitely into the atmosphere if not contained within something. Think of water: ice heats to liquid water which in turn becomes steam (vapor) which goes out into the atmosphere unless it is contained. If the container cannot expand and the water vapor (or any other gas) continues to be heated, eventually the gas will cause the container to explode because the internal pressure will exceed the ability of the container to hold it.
Which state of matter has particles that are spread the further apart?
GAS in air and other gases, atoms or molecules have sufficient energy to separate from each other. The more energy that matter contains, the more freely its atoms or molecules move, because they are able to overcome the attractive forces that tend to hold them together.
What does it mean if a state of matter has no definite shape?
Think of it this way: a solid will not form into its container. (ex. a brick wont fit in a container smaller than it) therefore it has a definite shape. A liquid will conform into a a container, so it it considered that forms of matter other than solids (like gases, liquids, and plasmas) have no definite shape.
How does the vacuum in the flask used to store liquid nitrogen prevent heat transfer?
I believe that since the vacuum is absent of matter, there is not matter to which the heat of the outside of the container can pass on its heat. In other words, if there was air inside the tude instead of a vacuum, the hotter outside of the container would make the air hot inside the walls of the container, so thus the hot air would make the inside of the container hot too. This is like a chain of heat, as the heat moves from matter to matter, bbut the vacuum limits the matter in the chaing, so less heat is passed onto the nitrogen.
What state of matter has molecules that are the furthest apart?
Gaseous.
What four properties does matter have?
Matter's property depends on how it's molecules are interacting(if they move,or not).The four properties of matter are solid,liquid,gas,and plasma.A solid matter's molecules don't move apart,yet the other three do.Liquid molecules do move apart ,but not by much.Gas molecules will move apart as far as they can.Plasma takes it even farther,the electrons in it even move apart from the rest of the molecule.
What account for solid matter to be definite in shape while liquid and gas to be indefinite in shape?
Solid matter has particles that are closely packed together, which allows them to maintain a fixed shape. In liquids, particles are loosely packed and can freely move past each other, giving them an indefinite shape. Gases have particles that move very quickly and are far apart, leading to an indefinite shape as they take the shape of their container.
Four states of matter?
the four states of matter are a solid, liquid ,gas, and plasma the molecules in a solid are tightly packed together in a liquid they take the shape of its container a gas the molecules move freely and in plasma the molecules attract each other positive and negative
Is there a lot of space between the molecules of gas?
Yes, in gases, molecules are relatively far apart from each other compared to liquids and solids. This is why gases are easily compressible and have the ability to expand to fill the container they are in.
In what way are molecules related to the different states of matter?
Molecules are related to the different states of matter by how they are arranged and how they move. In solids, molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in place. In liquids, molecules are more spread out and can move past each other. In gases, molecules are far apart and move freely. These differences in molecular arrangement and movement determine the state of matter.
Why is a gas considered to be matter?
A gas is considered to be matter because it has mass and occupies space. Gases consist of particles (atoms or molecules) that are in constant motion, filling the container they are in and interacting with each other.
How does the speed of the molecules of a gas change when the gas is heatead?
When a gas is heated it's molecules begin to move faster and farther apart, juat as all other states of matter will when heated.
What is the physical state in which matter has rapidly moving molecules?
The physical state in which matter has rapidly moving molecules is called a gas. In the gas state, the molecules move freely and quickly, resulting in a high degree of kinetic energy. This state is characterized by molecules that are spaced far apart from each other.
Are molecules that are farthest apart from each other called water vapor?
No, molecules that are farthest apart from each other are not called water vapor. Water vapor refers specifically to the gaseous form of water molecules. Molecules that are far apart from each other can simply be part of a gas phase.
What are molecules in a gas?
Molecules in a gas are individual particles that are relatively far apart from each other and move freely in all directions. These molecules have high kinetic energy and collide with each other and the walls of the container, creating pressure. The behavior of gas molecules is described by gas laws such as Boyle's law and Charles's law.
How can air and water make pressure?
Water and air have molecules that are spread far apart from each other. When one is placed into a small space, the molecules are forced closer together. The molecules push back against the sides of the container, creating pressure. The smaller the space, the greater the pressure.
