The atoms and molecules in liquids move in a random pattern relative to one another instead of being in a solid form due to the intermolecular forces of attraction. The intermolecular forces are too weak to hold onto the molecules in a solid form.

When liquid becomes a solid it had to?

When liquid becomes a solid it has to loose temperature. Because when a substance transforms into solid from liquid the atoms of that substance has to come closer to form the solid form.


What do most liquids become when they change into a solid?

Three states of matter. Solid, liquid and gaseous. Of course there is a fourth state called ionic state of matter. In solid atoms or molecules are well packed and they form mostly crystal structure. In liquid, atoms or molecules or ions will be in random motion. In gas, the motion will be severe and the attraction between atoms or molecules or ions will be almost negligibly small. So when liquid is changed into solid the free roaming atoms or molecules will be arrested and they are bound to form lattice and start to have lattice vibrations.


Are ions only in the solid and liquid state?

No, ions can exist in solid, liquid, and gas state. When a compound dissolves in water, it can form ions in solution. In the gas phase, ions can also form when atoms or molecules gain or lose electrons.


How does sound travel in solid liquid and in gas . explain?

Sound travels by particles (such as atoms or molecules) bumping into other particles, thus transferring the energy, in form of a sound.


What make up matter?

So I had this question for school. I looked it up here and in the textbook. So for one thing matter can be in the form of; a solid, a liquid, or a gas (that is not what its made of tho). Matter is made up of molecules, and atoms. So don't put down on your final exam that matter is made up of solid, liquid, and gasses. MATTER IS MADE UP OF MOLECULES AND ATOMS!!

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.

A nonsolid state of matter in which the atoms or molecules are free to move past each other as in a gas or liquid?

Matter only comes in three forms; solid, liquid and gas. There is no other form of matter that allows atoms or molecules to move about freely.

Are the molecules in coffee bonded?

In any solid the particles have bonds holding the atoms together into molecules, and bonds (or forces) holding the molecules together to form the solid.


What is a solid geometeric form that results from a repeating pattern of atoms or molecules?

A crystal.

Is liquid bromine a diatomic molecule?

Liquid bromine is a monoatomic molecule as it is a liquid


What element's atoms form diatomic molecules as a liquid?

Bromine is the only element that is liquid and forms diatomic molecules Br2. Mercury is also an element and is liquid but is monoatomic.


How does adhesion and cohesion of liquid molecules form in meniscus?

Adhesion occurs when liquid molecules are attracted to the surface of a solid like a container, causing the liquid to stick to the solid. Cohesion, on the other hand, is the attraction between the liquid molecules themselves, causing them to stick together. In the case of a meniscus, adhesion between the liquid and solid container causes the liquid to curve up or down, while cohesion helps keep the liquid molecules together to form a curved surface.
