Is a particle of liquid Mercury the same size as the space between particles of Mercury in gas form?
No. The spaces between the particles in a gas are much bigger than the particles themselves. The size of a particle does not vary between the states of a substance.
What causes the pressure that a gas exerts on the wall of its container?
Kinetic theory explains the pressure that a gas exerts on the walls of its container. This describes elastic collisions between the atoms or molecules in the gas with the container's walls, which collectively exert a measureable pressure.
What are the differences between free settling and hindered settling?
when the particle do not collide with the wall of the container or with the other particles is called free settling the suspended particles in the medium do nor effect it and when the particle collide with the other particles and with the wall of the container an d collides with the suspended particles is called hindered settling
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.
What are the six important points to particle theory of matter?
1.All matter is made up of particles. 2.All particles have spaces between them. 3.Particles are always in motion. 4.Particles have attraction forces. 5.Temperature effects the speed in which particles move. 6.All particles of one substance are identical
All collisions between gas particles are considered to be perfectly what?
All collisions between gas particles are considered to be perfectly elastic, meaning there is no loss of kinetic energy during the collision. This assumption allows for the conservation of momentum and energy to be applied to gas particle interactions.
What explains the motion of micro particles?
Brownian motion. This is random motion of micro particles resultimg from collisions between the particle in question and other particles in the surrounding medium.
What is the significance of pomerons in the study of high-energy particle collisions?
Pomerons are important in the study of high-energy particle collisions because they help explain the behavior of particles at very high energies. They are theoretical particles that represent the exchange of energy and momentum between colliding particles. Understanding pomerons can provide insights into the underlying physics of these collisions and help researchers make predictions about the outcomes of experiments.
What is the connection between temperature collisions and reaction rate?
More collisions between particles of matter means a faster reaction rate. When you increase the kinetic energy of a sample of matter, you increase the number of particle collisions, as well as the force with which they collide. This in turn increase the rate of reaction.
How does energy move between particles in conduction?
In conduction, energy is transferred between particles through direct collisions. When a particle with higher energy collides with a particle with lower energy, it transfers some of its energy to the lower-energy particle. This process continues throughout the material, allowing energy to move from hot regions to cold regions.
Increasing the temperature of a reaction increases the?
rate of collisions between particles. average velocity of the particles.
What is particle collision?
Particle collision usually refers to two subatomic particles slamming into each other at high speeds causing them to break into smaller particles. These speeds are created by particle accelerators.
What happens to kinetic energy during gas particle collisions?
During gas particle collisions, kinetic energy is transferred between the particles. When two particles collide, one particle may lose kinetic energy while the other gains kinetic energy, depending on the relative masses and velocities of the particles involved. Overall, the total kinetic energy of the system remains constant due to the principle of conservation of energy.
What process transfers thermal energy through matter directly from particle to particle?
Conduction is the process that transfers thermal energy through matter directly from particle to particle. This is typically facilitated by collisions between adjacent particles in a solid material, which allows the transfer of kinetic energy.
What reaction means that's the particle size is smaller thus causing more opportunities for collisions hence the reaction rate increases?
Increasing the surface area of reactants like breaking a solid into smaller pieces increases the frequency of collisions between particles, leading to a higher reaction rate. This is because smaller particles expose more reactive sites and allow for more collisions to occur, increasing the chances of successful reactions taking place.
By what process is heat transferred directly from one particle of matter to another?
Conduction is the process by which heat is transferred directly from one particle of matter to another. This occurs through direct contact between the particles, where they transfer energy through collisions.
Can you provide a detailed explanation of Feynman diagrams and how they are used in particle physics?
Feynman diagrams are visual representations used in particle physics to depict interactions between subatomic particles. They show the paths particles take and the exchanges of energy and momentum during these interactions. By analyzing Feynman diagrams, physicists can understand and predict the behavior of particles in various processes, such as particle collisions. These diagrams are a powerful tool for studying the fundamental forces and particles that make up the universe.
