In a solid, particles are closely packed and vibrate in fixed positions, which helps maintain shape and volume. In liquids, particles are still close but can move past each other, allowing liquids to flow while retaining volume. Gases have widely spaced particles that move freely, filling the available space without a fixed shape or volume. The interactions between these states of matter are governed by forces like cohesion in solids and liquids, and the kinetic energy of particles in gases.

When a solid gains heat energy its molecules begin vibrating too quickly to stay together so the solid becomes an?

When a solid gains heat energy, its molecules vibrate more rapidly, eventually overcoming the forces holding them together in a fixed position. This leads to the solid melting and transforming into a liquid.


When a solid gains heat energy it's molecules begin vibrating too quickly to stay together so the solid becomes a?

it becomes a liquid, and then a gas after that if heated even more.


Are play dough solid of liquid explain why?

solid because if its a liquid in high tempreture it will melt and become water but as solid in high tempreture it will stay the same ahape


Is solid always a solid?

Yes. Solid is a state of matter - a trait. While matter can change states into liquid or gas, these traits always stay what they are - different states of matter. Just like you can't say - "solid is liquid" but you can say "solid turned into liquid" (and it is no longer solid)


Is hot custard a solid or a liquid?

it is probably a liquid because if you even make it hot, it will still be liquid.


What do the particles in matter do?

It depends if it's a solid, liquid, gas, or plasma. Solid particles will stay still and vibrate.


What happends to the particals of a soild as it melts?

The particles in a solid are very tightly packed together and rigid. The particles in a liquid are less tightly packed together. When a solid like lead is heated, the particles spread out and can move more, making a liquid.


Why do molecules in solids still stay together if they move?

The forces of attraction between liquid atoms and liquid are more therefore they are close to another. This is what that keeps them close to each other.


What is the diffences between solid and liquid?

Solid water is ice, and is therefore much colder than liquid water. It is also less dense, and as a solid it is harder and stronger. Liquid water takes the shape of its container, whereas solid water retains its shape always, and liquid water can draw itself up thin tubes by capillary action.


What in the world can only stay as a solid?

All materials can be melted or thermally decomposed.


Why do molecules stay together in outer space?

Molecules stay together in outer space due to intermolecular forces such as Van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic attractions. These forces help hold atoms together within molecules and molecules together in solid, liquid, or gaseous states, even in the vacuum of space.
