In a solid state, particles vibrate because there's not a lot of space for them to move in. A solid has a definite shape and volume. In a liquid state, particles flow past one another because there is no definite shape but there's a definite volume. In a gas state, particles move really fast because there's no definite shape or volume.

How do you call a change from liquid to solid?

The change in state would be known as freezing. Just for your information: Solid to Liquid = Melting Liquid to Gaseous = Boiling Solid to Gaseous = Sublimation Gaseous to Liquid = Condensation Liquid to Solid = Freezing Gaseous to Solid = Deposition


Is there a chemical difference between the gauseos and liquid state of the same substance?

There is no chemical difference, the only difference is the speed in which the molecules of the substances move. Slower molecules can be solid or liquid and very high speed molecules can be gas.


What do you called change from liquid from a solid?

The change in state would be known as melting. Just for your information: Solid to Liquid = Melting Liquid to Gaseous = Boiling Solid to Gaseous = Sublimation Gaseous to Liquid = Condensation Liquid to Solid = Freezing Gaseous to Solid = Deposition


What are the states of water How does it describe the arrangement of water molecule?

The three states of water are solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (water vapor). In the solid state, water molecules are closely packed together in a specific arrangement, forming a crystal lattice structure. In the liquid state, water molecules are more loosely arranged and able to move past each other. In the gas state, water molecules are far apart and move freely.


What form are molecules in water vapor?

Their form remains the same - water is water. However, the molecules are in a gaseous state/phase (rather than liquid or solid state/phase).


When a substance changes from one state to another do the chemical properties change?

From solid to liquid, from liquid to gaseous, from gaseous to liquid, from liquid to solid, and in sublimation from solid to gaseous or the reverse, chemical properties do not change.


What is the common names for solid liquid and gaseous states of water?

solid = ice liquid = water gaseous = water vapour


How does arrangement of atoms in most solids differ from the arrangement of atoms in a liquid?

The arrangement of atoms in solids are different from those in liquids in that they are unable to move from their location in the solid, where they can move in the liquid. A solid's atoms are vibrating very rapidly, but the molecules are all locked into place, whereas in a liquid the molecules are free to move around. Also in general the atoms of a solid are closer together than those of a liquid with the exception of water, whose solid form is less dense.


What do you call the change in a state of matter from a solid to a liquid?

The change in state would be known as melting. Just for your information: Solid to Liquid = Melting Liquid to Gaseous = Boiling Solid to Gaseous = Sublimation Gaseous to Liquid = Condensation Liquid to Solid = Freezing Gaseous to Solid = Deposition


What is different at the molecular level between a solid and a liquid?

At the molecular level, the main difference between a solid and a liquid is the arrangement and movement of molecules. In a solid, molecules are tightly packed together in a fixed position, vibrating in place. In a liquid, molecules are more loosely packed and can move around each other, allowing the liquid to flow.


What are the differences in solid liquid and gaseous states of matter?

The differences are in a solid the particles of itusually lines up in an organized pattern. The particles of a liquid move more than they do in the solid state .And in the gas diagram, the particles move around more freely so their volume and shape fit the shape and volume of the container.


When a liquid turns into a solid the pattern of the molecules becomes more BLANK?

When a liquid turns into a solid, the pattern of the molecules becomes more ordered and structured. The molecules pack closely together in a fixed, repeating pattern, resulting in a rigid and stable arrangement characteristic of a solid.
