Liquids and gases (and plasma, a form of heated gas) have molecules which are not fixed, but move about. The molecules in solids may also move, but more often "oscillate" around a given position.

Particles in a liquid?

Insolubles particles form a suspension.


Do particles in Mercury collide with one another?

All particles of all things are in constant motion. Particles in a liquid collide, but the rate is subdued by the viscosity of the liquid.


Does the constant motion of the particles in a liquid cause the liquid to take the shape of its container?

Yes, the constant motion of particles in a liquid allows it to flow and take the shape of its container. This is because the particles have enough kinetic energy to move around and fill the available space.


Can a liquids particles stop moving?

No, the particles of a liquid are in constant motion, although they move more freely than particles in a solid. The movement of liquid particles explains why liquids can flow and take the shape of their container.


Molecule of a substance are in a motion?

Molecules of a substance are in constant motion. Whether you have a solid, liquid, or gas, the particles are moving (but the speed and amount they move differs). Particles of a solid move the least (they basically vibrate), particles of a liquid can flow around one another, and particles of a gas have a lot of space between them because they move in random, constant motions.


Do particles in a liquid move at the same pace?

No, particles in a liquid move at different speeds due to various factors like temperature, pressure, and interactions with other particles. This results in a constant and random motion known as Brownian motion.


What particles move around the nucleus in constant and random motion?

Electrons are the particles that move around the nucleus in constant and random motion.


Do particles always move?

Yes, particles are in constant motion due to their kinetic energy. This motion can vary in speed and direction depending on factors such as temperature and surrounding conditions.


How does the particles of a liquid move?

The particles in a liquid are in constant random motion. They slide past each other, allowing the liquid to flow and take the shape of its container. The particles have more freedom of movement compared to a solid but less than a gas.


What happens to the particles of a liquid as the liquid freezes?

As a liquid freezes, its particles slow down and move closer together, forming a solid crystal lattice structure. This results in a decrease in the random motion of the particles and a decrease in the volume of the substance as it transitions from a liquid to a solid state.


Do liquid particles collide randomly with each other?

Yes, liquid particles collide randomly with each other due to their constant motion and interactions. These collisions influence the behavior and properties of liquids, such as viscosity and diffusion.


What do particles do in a liquid?

Particles in a liquid are in constant motion, moving past each other. They have more freedom to move compared to particles in a solid but are still close together, allowing liquids to take the shape of their container. This movement is what gives liquids their fluidity.
