In solids and liquids, atoms are in constant motion, but their behavior differs due to the nature of their intermolecular forces. In solids, atoms vibrate around fixed positions, maintaining a definite shape due to strong intermolecular forces. In liquids, these forces are weaker, allowing atoms to move more freely and slide past one another, resulting in a fluid shape. Temperature changes can also affect atomic motion, causing phase transitions between solid and liquid states.
What else can I help you with?
What is the change in state called when solid goes to liquid?
The change in state from a solid to a liquid is called melting.
What change occurs when a substance changes phase?
The atoms movement is either more free (liquid to gas) or more restricted (liquid to solid)
Can a solid become a liquid by slowing it's atoms?
well, a solid has the slowest atoms, they are placed closely together, and because of that, they cannot move much. A liquid has faster atoms, placed slightly farther apart, allowing them to move faster. So, no, liquid atoms are faster than solid atoms P.S. just so you know, the atoms of a gas move the fastest, and are placed the farthest apart of the three
Does the amount of mass change when a liquid solidifies?
No, the total amount of mass remains constant during the process of solidification. The atoms in the liquid rearrange themselves into a solid state, but the total number of atoms remains the same, so the mass does not change.
How do heating and cooling change the state of matter?
yes heating a substance does three things to a particleThe particle gains heat energyThe particles move further apartThe partiicles move fasterBecause they move further apart they change state and become a solid liquid or gas
Are atoms in a solid changed when the solid becomes a liquid?
No, they will vibrate more but they didn't change.
Can liquid change its shape?
because the atoms in the liquid moves faster than a solid and has more freedom.
Describe how particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?
Particles do not change when they change state from solid to liquid form. However, they will change behavior because they are completely still when they are solid and move faster when a liquid.
What is the difference between solid and liquid is the kind of atoms in the material?
The atoms in a solid are in a tighter formation that as they are in a liquid. In a liquid, They are loose and have the ability to pour.
Why can liquids change its shape?
because the atoms in the liquid moves faster than a solid and has more freedom.
What of a liquid to a solid?
change of a liquid to a solid
What is the change for liquid and solid?
The change from liquid to solid is called freezing.
Is the change from a solid to a liquid a physical change?
Sure, change from solid to liquid is a physical change
Are the atoms of sulphur in the liquid the same as the atoms in solid sulphur?
The atoms in a liquid are the same as the atoms in a solid. They are simply arranged in a different way, and have different energy and different intermolecular forces.
What happen to atom when substances goes from solid to liquid?
When a substance goes from solid to liquid, the atoms gain enough energy to overcome the attractive forces that hold them in a fixed position in the solid. This allows the atoms to move more freely, leading to a change in the arrangement of the atoms from a fixed and ordered structure in the solid to a more random and less structured arrangement in the liquid.
How do solid change to liquid?
when ice was solid change liquid because sun was very hot. ice will change liquid change back solid again
Is Liquid wax turned solid a chemical change?
Yes becasue when the atoms inside the wax start to change, they all form and become a solid. this is what is now called replacement.
