Usually a liquid, but some solids, like ice, have the molecules more spread apart, making it less dense than the liquid. If, by "loosely packed," you mean being able to slide past each other, then the liquid is always the answer.

Arrangement of molecules of the diff phases of matter?

In solids, molecules are tightly packed in a fixed arrangement. In liquids, molecules are more loosely packed and move freely. In gases, molecules are spread out and move independently of each other.


What makes up solids liquids and gases?

Molecules - They are more tightly packed in solids than liquids and gases


Why different liquids having different densities?

certain molecules are more tightly packed than others


What are the particles in liquids that allow blank to pass through them?

The particles in liquids are loosely packed and allow molecules to move between them. This enables substances to dissolve and diffuse in liquids.


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.


Explain the particle arrangement in solids liquids and gasses and energy associate with each phase?

Solids have closely-packed molecules, and very little energy Liquids have loosely-packed molecules and some energy, and gasses have very lose, free molecules, and very high energy.


The state of matter in which there is little movement of molecules is a?

solid. In a solid, the molecules are tightly packed together and have minimal movement compared to liquids and gases.


How are liquids and gases different in the amount of space between?

Liquid molecules are very tightly packed while in gas it is loose.


Molecular arrangement of solid liquid gas?

Molecules inside liquids are loosely bonded to their neighboring molecules. The bonds are constantly breaking and reforming so the liquid can flow. This also keeps the liquid at a constant volume.


Why do liquids have different density?

Different liquids have different densities because of variations in the mass of their molecules and the distance between them. Density is the amount of mass a substance has in a specific volume, so liquids with heavier molecules or more closely packed molecules will have a higher density than those with lighter molecules or more spread-out molecules.


What is solids and liquids?

Solids are a phase of matter in which the molecules are packed together and can only move together. The molecuules in liquids have some space to move... Ex of solids: rocks, hat, pencil......anything you can hold on to LIQUIDS: water, juice, soda........


How are liquids and gases different in the amount of space between particles?

Liquid molecules are very tightly packed while in gas it is loose.
