Are particles that are close together in gas liquid or solid?
Particle spacing is the closest together in solids. In liquids the spacing is close, however the particles have the freedom of movement. In gas, the particles have lots of kinetic energy, therefore they are far apart.
What happens to a particle in diffusion?
When particles diffuse they break apart, down into simpler substances. Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from high to low concentration through random motion. From the particle point of view it just moves about at random (as usual) but the overall effect is for the particles to spread out evenly.
A measure of the average energy of random motion of particles of matter?
Temperature is the average energy of random motion of particles of matter :). Hope that helps
What happens to the closeness of a material's particles when they are heated?
The particles are bonded together with some force when heat is supplied the then force between particles decreases and the start to move away from each other or we can say that the particles get that energy and become energetic and movement starts in individual particle and the force between the particles decrease. This is why when water is heated the particles detach from each other become steam.
If the motion of 1 particle of a gas is unaffected by the motion of other particles of the gas unless the particles what?
Unless the particles collide
What happens when to particles of a substance when it condenses?
Particle Movement decreases.
How does the movement of particles in a stick of butter differ from the movement of particle in a dish of melted butter?
The movement of particles in a hard stick of butter are solid. Their not moving. While the movement of particles in a melted sick of butter are liquid. They are moving.
What are the particle involved in diffusion?
Diffusion is due to the Transitional movement of molecules or particles.
How does temperature or heat energy affect particle movement?
Temperature is a measure of particle movement. An increase of temperature, in a sense is an increase of the average movement of the particles within the substance, to include vibrations, spins, and lateral movement.
An example of brownian motion?
An example of brownian motion is tea diffusing in water the particles swirl in random directions
How is temperature related to particle movement?
Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms and molecules (i.e., the particles) of the body with that temperature. By comparison heat is a measure of the total kinetic energy of the particles of the body containing that heat.
Is the speed of the particles in a substance changes when the temperature changes?
Yes, in fact, particle movement is what heat is.
Compare wave and particle models of light. What phenomena can only be explained by the particle model?
The photoelectric effect is a phenomena that can only be explained by the particle model.
How does temperature affect kinetic energy of particle of matter?
the kinetic energy of a particle depends on the movement of each particle;that is the mass of the particle and the velocity of each particle.the particles of each matter or substance has a different heat resistance. when the temperature exceeds the resistance of the particles the movement of the particles would increase drastically.therefore making the velocity more and the mass lesser............. KE=1/2*m*v*v so when the temperature increases the mass is reduced and the velocity increases.
What stream characteristic is measured by the size of the largest particle that a stream can move?
The measure of the largest particles a stream can carry is capacity.
Does the particle's size make the particle movement go slow or fast?
Well, if in a gas you have a mixture of heavier and lighter particles (atoms or molecules, really), the lighter particles will tend to move faster than the heavier particles. The general tendency is for any such particle to have the same energy (mainly kinetic energy). Similarly, in a liquid solution, lighter particles will tend to move faster.
Is there a way to stop the particles from moving?
If you mean, thermal motion, if an object is cooled down, the particles will move slower. Absolute zero (no particle movement, and no other kind of internal energy) can be approached, but it can't be reached completely.If you mean, thermal motion, if an object is cooled down, the particles will move slower.
