What else can I help you with?
Solids maintain a definite shape and volume because their particles?
have a strong attractive force
How do solute and solvent particles fit together?
When they both are attracted to each other then the particles fit together
Why do solids support objects more then fluids?
because the particles in solids are more close together and strong so they would support it better than fluid because fluid particles are spread out. Hope this helps. : )
Why do solids have definite shape?
Solid have definite shape because the particles of solid are closely packed together and they cannot move freely. Therefore the force of attraction of particles in solid is more.
Are gas particles far apart?
As a simple explanation we can say that in a gas, there is an enormous amount of empty space and the particles rarely get close enough for the forces to have any signficant effect. There is a more complete explanation also. Forces between atoms and molecules typically act only for a few angstroms or perhaps a bit more depending on the specifics of the atom or molecule. (The forces act at longer distances but are too weak to affect the motion of the particles. Also, if the particles are charged, then the forces extend to a much greater range, but we do not usually discuss such systems as a gas but instead discuss them as a plasma.) The distance between particles in a gas is typically ten times greater than the range of forces. (Obviously, the more dilute the gas, the greater the distance between particles, so distances can be much much greater than the range of interaction, but that makes the effects of interaction even weaker.) Real gasses do have forces between the particles, but if the forces are strong enough to bind the particles together they would not be gas, but a liquid or solid, i.e. they would condense. (We can characterize the interactions as "significant" if the potential energy decrease from attractive forces in sticking two particles together is large enough to be close to the kinetic energy of thermal motion. So, what is "significant" depends on temperature and weaker forces are significant only at lower temperatures. ) Finally, we can reverse the question and make it a statement. For materials with no significant forces between the particles, the particles will be in a gaseous state.
At room temperature the greatest attractive forces exist between particles of?
At room temperature, the greatest attractive forces exist between particles of solids because the particles are closely packed together and have strong intermolecular forces such as Van der Waals forces or hydrogen bonding.
What keeps the particles in a solid in their arrangement?
In a solid, the particles are held together by strong attractive forces between them, such as metallic, covalent, or ionic bonds. These forces prevent the particles from moving freely and maintain their fixed positions in the solid's arrangement.
When the attractive forces holding particles together are strong enough to hold them together as a group but not as a fixed position they form a what?
Liquid. The liquid state lies between the gaseous and the solid state. The cohesive (attractive) forces between the liquid particles are strong enough to keep them together but not to keep them in a fixed position.
If the attractive forces between particles are strong enough to keep them together as a group but not hold them in a fixed posittion the particles make up a?
You think probable to a liquid.
Are the particles in common salt held by weak attractive forces?
No, the particles in salt are Sodium ions (Na+) and Chlorine ions (Cl-) which are held together by the electrostatic force in ionic bonds which are strong. This is why salt has a high melting point.
What happens to the particles in a solid when it dissolved?
The particles in the solid (solute) break apart and form links with the particles in the liquid (solvent). There are strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solute. These forces keep the particles together and make the solute a solid because they attract the solute particles tightly together. There are also strong forces of attraction between the molecules and particles inside the solvent. These forces keep the particles together and make the solvent a liquid because they attract the solvent particles slightly together. There is also an attractive force between the solute and solvent particles. To break these forces and from a bond between the solute and solvent particles energy is needed. This energy is gained from heat (the process of dissolving is speeded up through heat.) In conclusion, the particles in a solute break apart of their attractive forces and form bonds with the solvent particles through the attraction between the solute and solvent particles and through the energy gained by heat.
Which phase of matter has the strong attractive force?
The solid phase of matter typically has the strongest attractive forces between particles. This is because the particles are closely packed together and have limited freedom of movement, allowing for strong intermolecular interactions.
Why Solids are strong?
Solids are strong because their particles are closely packed together, making it difficult for them to move. This close packing results in strong attractive forces between the particles, providing stability to the structure of the solid. Additionally, the regular arrangement of particles in the solid contributes to its strength by distributing forces evenly throughout the material.
When the attractive forces are strong enough to hold together as a group but arent in a fixed position forms what?
liquid.
How state of matter is made up of atoms and molecules that have a comparatively low amount of kinetic energy which does not allow the particles to break free from the attractive forces between themW?
In a state of matter with low kinetic energy, such as a solid or a liquid, the particles (atoms or molecules) are not moving as fast as in a gas, so they are held together by strong attractive forces. These forces prevent the particles from breaking free and moving independently, giving the substance its characteristic shape and volume.
How are strong forces and electrical forces similar?
Strong forces and electrical forces are similar in that they both act at a distance between particles and are responsible for holding atoms and particles together. They are both fundamental forces in nature that play a critical role in the structure and behavior of matter.
What is the force of attractive force between particles in the nucleus?
The attractive force between particles in the nucleus is known as the strong nuclear force. It is responsible for holding protons and neutrons together in the nucleus. This force is extremely strong but acts only over very short distances.
