If you look inside of a thermos you will see metal. This absorbs the heat or the cold and keeps it that way for as long as the contents are in the thermos.

Compare Solids and Liquids using the Venn Diagram?

solids molecules are closely compacted and liquids molecules are spread apart. Both solids and liquids molecules are always moving.


Why gases are compressible?

Gases are compressible because their molecules bounce off of each other instead of sticking together. The molecules of solids and liquids stick together instead of moving freely.


What happens to molecules when heat is added?

Heat is atoms and molecules moving so they start moving.


Why do liquids and gases flow freely?

Molecules are constantly moving. Even an object sitting perfectly still has molecules that are moving, but these molecules are only moving in small variations, because the bonds between molecules are too strong. With liquids and gasses, the molecules aren't bound to each other hard enough to prevent the movement from affecting the substance.


Why gases compress?

Gases are compressible because their molecules bounce off of each other instead of sticking together. The molecules of solids and liquids stick together instead of moving freely.


What is the definition for Packing of Particles?

How close together the molecules (particles) are in a substance/material. Solids are closely packed, liquids are loosely packed, and gas are very loose, freely moving molecules.


How do gas molecles look like?

Like normal molecules only far apart and moving around really fast. They have less interaction with other molecules and liquids or solids do, because they are further apart.


What happens to an empty plastic bottle when you put it in the freezer?

It should get pushed in slightly as the molecules are moving slower therefore the pressure inside is reduced


How does solid turn to liquid?

Solids are made up of molecules which have more intermolecular attraction. So these molecules are held together closely. But in case of liquids the inter molecular attraction less. So there is inter molecular space between the molecules. They are not very close to one another. When the inter molecular attraction between the molecules is lost or reduced the solids turn into liquids. When the solid is heated because of the heat the kinetic energy of the molecules is increased and the molecules start moving away from each other. So the inter molecular attraction is lost or reduced. So the solid turns into liquids.


What happens when you put an plastic bottle in the freezer over night?

It should get pushed in slightly as the molecules are moving slower therefore the pressure inside is reduced


What are moving molecules?

Molecules in motion


Can a liquids particles stop moving?

NO
