How does salt and water form using the particle theory?

The particles of salt and the particles of water are both moving very fast. The different particles attract to each other so therefore it forms a solution.


Why is the motion of one particle in a gas independent of the motion of the other particles?

In an ideal gas, particles are assumed to be point masses with no volume and no intermolecular forces acting between them. Therefore, the motion of one particle is independent of the motion of the other particles because they do not interact with each other. Each particle moves freely and randomly in all directions without influencing the motion of other particles.


What are the 4 statements of the particle theory?

All matter is made up of tiny particles. These particles are constantly in motion. There are spaces between the particles. The particles attract each other.


What are 4 main points of the particle theory?

5 major points of the particle theoryAll matter is made up of extremely tiny particlesEach pure substance has its own kind of particle, different from the particles of other pure substances.Particles attract each otherParticles are in constant motionParticles at a higher temperature are moving faster than particles at a lower temperature.


Is alpha particles heavier than beta particles?

Yes. A beta particle is just an electron, while an alpha particle is effectively a helium nucleus - two protons plus two neutrons. Protons (and neutrons) are each about 2000 times heavier than an electron. Therefore, an alpha particle is about 8000 times heavier than a beta particle.

What needs to happen for particles of water to freeze into an ice cube?

The water particles must be below 0 degrees. This means that the individual particles no longer have the energy to move around and bonds form between each particle. Water actually expands by 9% as the bonds keep each particle an equal distance from the next.

How atmospheric dust particles influence the water cycle?

In order for water droplets to form, it is essential that there is some dust or smog in the air that each water particle can attach to. Once many water particles attach to a dust particle, a droplet is formed, which then comes down as rain. Without a solid particle or smog or dust, rain is not possible.


How many particles in water?

I'm not sure what you mean by the word particle. In each water molecule there are three atoms: two of hydrogen and one of oxygen.


Each fundamental atomic particle has an opposite particle. A collision of these opposites will result in the annihilation of each particle. What are these types of particles called?

Anti-particles. In the case of the (normal negatively-charged) electron, the anti-particle has a specific name; the positron. Since normal particles are the building blocks of matter, a collection of anti-particles are termed "anti-matter".

What moves forward in a wave while particles in the wave remain in the same place?

Energy. Each particle of water moves around in a circle. Energy moves forward while water particles remain in the same place.


What is the total penitential energy and kinetic energy of the particles in an object?

The total penitential energy of the particles in an object is the sum of the gravitational potential energy of each particle. The kinetic energy of the particles in an object is the sum of the kinetic energy of each particle. The total energy of the particles is the sum of the penitential and kinetic energy.

What is a theory in science for kids?

The particle theory is a good theory that's sort of simple to understand. The particle theory consists of five parts. 1) All matter is made up of small particles 2) The particles are attracted to each other. 3) Particles are always moving. 4)When heated, particles move faster and move farther apart. 5) There are spaces between each particle.


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.


Particle found in nucleus?

The main constituents of the nucleus are protons and neutrons, but each of these is made up of smaller particles known as quarks.
