Particles don't get bigger, however they fill a larger volume when turned into gas, this is because of diffusion, this is when particles in a higher concentration move to a lower concentration, this happens everyday in your body and in the domestic house hold

Why 1 g of water vapour has larger volume than 1 g of liquid water?

Gases are less dense than liquids, so the space between the particles larger which explains the larger volume.


What becomes bigger in size due to movement of particles in a solid?

If the particles in a substance are moving, the volume of that substance becomes larger because the particles move faster and spread farther appart. the mass of the object stays the same because it is the same amount of particles, just in a format in which the volume is larger. hope i helped :)


What happens to particles when condesing?

When particles condense, they come together to form a denser phase, such as a liquid from a gas or a solid from a gas. This process releases heat energy and allows the particles to move closer together, resulting in a decrease in volume.


How does the movement of particles in a liquid help to explain the shape and volume in a liquid?

Because its particles are free to move, a liquid has no definite shape. However, it does have a definite volume.


How Do You Use The Word volume in a scientific sentence?

The student measured the volume of a liquid in a graduated cylinder.


As a substance changes from a liquid to a gas the space between its particles?

......... distances become 100 to 1000 times bigger


Why is the volume of a gas more than that of a liquid?

gas molecules collide with one another. They collide until they become equidistant dfrom one anohter. this is why they have a larger volume, they venture out until they are equidistant form each other, filling the container.


Which has the greatest volume liquid gas or solid?

Liquid has the greatest volume compared to gas or solid under normal conditions. This is because liquid particles are more closely packed together than gas particles, but less packed than solid particles, giving liquid a larger volume than both gas and solid.


What happens to the volume of a liquid when it is poured from a small container into a large container?

The volume of an object is determined by the product of the surface area and the height of the object. Hence if the big container has a bigger height then the volume would certainly be greater. However, when talking about the volume of the liquid, it will be constant. This is because, although the height of the liquid will be reduced by putting it into a bigger container, the surface area is increased. Therefore, it will be constant. ! xx


Why does liquid compress much less than a gas does?

This is due to the fact that the particles of the liquid are close together and have a definite volume, whereas the particles of the gas are far apart and do not have a definite volume.


How does the particle size of a liquid a solid and a gas compare?

Particles in a gas have the smallest size and are the most spread out, particles in a liquid are larger than in a gas and are more closely packed, and particles in a solid are the largest and are tightly packed in a regular pattern.


How do the positions and movements of particles in a liquid help to explain the shape and volume of the liquid?

The particles of a liquid move from one place to another although they are close together. Because of this, a liquid changes shape depending on the container they are put in. It does not have a fixed shape. The volume of a liquid is fixed; it can be measured.
