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.
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
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.
In which phase of matter are molecules farthest apart?
This question doesn't really make sense, but to answer it, Molecules can be far apart but they can't. See molecules in a solid are packed tightly together. In a gas, the molecules are relatively far apart, occasionally bouncing into each other.
How does the motion of molecules explain the phases of matter?
Solid: Molecules are tightly packed together into a fixed shape, so the molecules only have room to vibrate in place. ex: a classroom Liquid: Molecules have room to spread out and can slide past each other and takes the shape of the container it's in. ex: a hallway Gas: Molecules have room to go wherever and don't touch each other but still takes form of it's container. ex: outside; parking lot
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.
What account for solid matter to be definite in shape while liquid and gas to be indefinite in shape?
because of its molecules solid molecules are very close to each other that's why they make definite shape, while liquid and gas molecules are far apart.
What holds water molecules far apart from each other?
The bonds that hold water molecules far apart from each other are ice. The hydrogen bonds' postulation in ice keeps them far apart from one another.
What are the assumptions of the kinetic theory.?
Kinetic energy is the energy produced or exerted by an object in motion. The three assumptions are, that there is matter (the object exists), it is moving (in motion), and it is producing or exerting energy.
Why do large groups of sugar molecules break apart in water?
when sugar dissolves in water the sugar molecules are more attracted-to the water than each other.the molecules-break apart from each other and water molecules surround them.
What Bonds hold water molecules far apart from each other?
The bonds that hold water molecules far apart from each other are ice. The hydrogen bonds' postulation in ice keeps them far apart from one another.
