The solvents particles (for example salt) break up into smaller pieces and they mix with the solute particles (for example water).

When something dissolves where does it go?

When something is dissolved, most of the time it ends up in ionic form. Hence, sodium chloride (NaCl), table salt, when added to water, separates into the sodium ion, Na+, and the chlorine ion, Cl-, since it is soluble in water.


When a solid dissolves in a liquid it seems to disappear into it. how is it possible?

The solid separates down to the molecular level - and they mix with the water molecules. We cannot see molecules with the naked eye !


What is a particle level?

A particle level refers to the scale at which matter is composed of discrete units, such as atoms, molecules, or subatomic particles like electrons and protons. At this level, the properties and behaviors of materials can be understood through the interactions and arrangements of these particles. This perspective is fundamental in fields like chemistry and physics, where the behavior of matter is often explained through particle dynamics and interactions. Understanding particle levels is crucial for exploring phenomena such as chemical reactions, phase changes, and the fundamental forces of nature.


What is the stuff that coalesces to form planets referred to as dust composed of at particle level?

Mainly hydrogen.


How does quantum mechanics stop Newtonian determinism?

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle as well as wave-particle duality prevent any form of determinism at the quantum level. This is because Newtonian determinism requires the position of matter to be certain and HUP makes the position of matter uncertain and Wave-Particle Duality questions whether something has mass at all in a given location.

What happens at a particle level when a solid dissolves in a liquid?

Well in most cases the material will sink.


Explain what happened at the particle's level when a solid dissolves in a liquid?

The particle's level raise a bit higher than usual. The solid gives more weight to the liquid, causing the solid and liquid to have a much larger particle level!!!!!

At what particle level do interactions between atoms and molecules occur?

Interactions between atoms and molecules occur at the particle level, specifically at the level of electrons and protons within the atoms and molecules.


How do you complete a level of dance contest on club penguin?

No matter what happens, you'll always complete the level, even if you do horrible. If something's too hard, try an easier level.


How does heat travel by conduction?

Heat, on a molecular or atomic level, is kinetic energy; fast moving particles are literally hotter. So, if a fast moving particle collides with a slower particle, there will be an exchange of energy. We know from basic physics that force equals mass times acceleration, so when a force is applied to a particle, that particle will accelerate. That is how heat is transferred particle by particle. All of this happens on such a small, sub-microscopic scale, that we do not see the mechanics of it, we just see heat being conducted.

How does electromagnetic energy have both wave and particle characteristics?

This is not something we can explain with classical physics - its a new phenomenon that happens at the subatomic level. It affects everything that happens on a very small scale; for example, an electron, too, has wave and particle characteristics. Briefly, it seems that the wave is not a mechanical wave in the traditional sense, but a probability distribution that tells you what is the probability of finding a particle in a specific region of space. Do some reading - for example on Wikipedia - on "wave-particle duality", for more details.


What happens at the molecular level when NaOH dissolves in HCl?

When NaOH dissolves in HCl, the NaOH molecules dissociate into Na+ and OH- ions, while the HCl molecules dissociate into H+ and Cl- ions. In the solution, the OH- ions from NaOH and the H+ ions from HCl combine to form water molecules. The Na+ and Cl- ions remain in the solution.


What happens to the energy level as something evaporates?

When something evaporates, the energy level increases. The particles gain enough energy and begin to spread apart, and into the air. With the increased energy level, it gives the liquid, or even the solid (sublimation), enough energy to vaporize (or evaporate) into thin air.
