metals are solids(except Mercury) while non-metals may be solids ,liquids or gas.According to the particle theory the particles in solids are tightly packed and hence have greater density than liquids and gases where the particles are loosely packed and hence have less density.

Sound is a series of vibrations. In a solid they travel in waves from particle to particle, causing the solid to make a noise.

How the particle theory of matter to explain how sedimentation tanks help to remove solid wastes?

In the particle theory of matter, particles in a fluid settle down due to gravity when the fluid is at rest. In sedimentation tanks, the solid wastes in wastewater settle at the bottom of the tank as the water flows slowly. This allows the solid particles to separate from the water, making it easier to remove the waste from the water.


Why particles of solid do not move at all?

Solids do not flow because particles in a solid are so close together and their forces of attraction are so strong that they cannot flow past one another. If you have a 8th grade Science & Technology Textbook, you can look at page 89 in the second paragraph (Explaining Flow Using Particle Theory) and 2nd sentence, which is your answer that you are looking for (Using the particle theory explain why solids do not flow?)


Explain what happened at the particle's level when a solid dissolves in a liquid?

The particle's level raise a bit higher than usual. The solid gives more weight to the liquid, causing the solid and liquid to have a much larger particle level!!!!!


In particle theory why does liquid go to solid?

In particle theory, the transition of a liquid to a solid occurs when the particles in the liquid lose energy, leading to a decrease in their kinetic energy. As the particles slow down, they come closer together, forming a more ordered structure characteristic of a solid. This process is known as freezing or solidification.

Description of Solid Sphere Model proposed by John Dalton?

The Solid Sphere Model proposed by John Dalton suggests that an atom is a solid sphere with no internal structure. Dalton envisioned atoms as indivisible and indestructible particles that make up all matter. This model laid the foundation for modern atomic theory.


If you place a solid in a liquid will ether sink?

That depends on the relative densities of the solid and the liquid. If the solid is denser than the liquid, the solid will sink. If the liquid is denser, the solid will float.


What are the three parts of the particle theory?

There are 4 states of matter in the particle theory but only 3 are taught at keystage 3 and 4 in UK schools (high school level in the US).These three are Solid, Liquid and Gas.The fourth state of matter is plasma.
