How does the particle size of a liquid a solid and a gas compare?

Particles in a gas have the smallest size and are the most spread out, particles in a liquid are larger than in a gas and are more closely packed, and particles in a solid are the largest and are tightly packed in a regular pattern.


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.


Is particles in a gas closely packed together?

The atoms move faster so they escape it's liquid.they begin to separate from each other. the molecules in a solid are compact togeather. the molecules in a liquid are loose and those in a gas are separate from each which is what makes gas so light and transparent.


Do particles move faster in a gas or liquid?

Particles generally move faster in a gas compared to a liquid. In a gas, particles have more energy and move more freely and quickly as they are not as tightly packed as in a liquid. Conversely, in a liquid, particles are closer together and interact more, resulting in slower movement.


Would a gas liquid or solid be most affected by the volume of its container?

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas.Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around.Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. It will take the shape of its container. Particles can move about within a liquid, but they are packed densely enough that volume is maintained.Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume. A gas can be compressed.

Are the particles of a gas packed closely together so that they don't have as much movement as the particles of a solid or liquid?

No, in a gas, particles are packed far apart and have a lot of space to move around freely. This allows gas particles to move quickly and independently of one another, unlike in solids or liquids where particles are more closely packed and have less freedom of movement.


Are the particles of gas packed tightly together?

No, they are not packed tightly together. The particles in solids are. In gas, they move in random motion and are the furthest apart, compared to solids and liquids. Hope this helps :)


Are the particles of gas are packed tightly together?

No, they are not packed tightly together. The particles in solids are. In gas, they move in random motion and are the furthest apart, compared to solids and liquids. Hope this helps :)


Why can the vulume of a gas change and the solid of a remain constaant?

In a solid,particles are packed tightly to each other while the gas particles are not packed tightly. So the gas particles can be compressed and can change the volume. Solids cannot be compressed to change the volume.

Are solid particles packed close toghether?

I think that what you mean to ask is, are the particles in a solid packed close together, which they are, particularly in comparison to a gas, in which the particles are rather distant from each other. However, you can pack solid particles in various ways, closely or distantly. The solidity of the particle does not dictate the type of packing.

The three states of matter on earth are solid gas and what?

There is really 4 states of matter you have (in order from tightly packed to loosely packed particles) Solid, Liquid, Gas, and Plasma.


Explain how solids are terms in particles?

In a solid, the particles are tightly packed and do not move around much, as opposed to a liquid or gas, in which the particles are more spread out.


Why can the particles of gas change and the particles of solids not?

The particles of gas have more energy and are less tightly packed than particles in solids. This allows gas particles to move freely and change position easily, while solid particles are held in a fixed position by strong intermolecular forces.


What are the formula of solid liquid gas?

The formula for the states of matter are: Solid: Particles are closely packed and vibrate in fixed positions. Liquid: Particles are loosely packed and flow past each other. Gas: Particles are far apart and move freely in all directions.


What is the difference between the particles in a solid and the particles in a gas?

In a solid, particles are tightly packed together in a fixed arrangement, vibrating in place. In a gas, particles are widely spaced apart and move freely in random directions at high speeds.
