How do particles move differently in a solid a liquid and a gas?

particles in a solid are packed close together and vibrate. the particles in a liquid are loosely packed together and can move freely but not putting too much space between them. the particles in a gas are very spread apart and can move anywhere. does this help you understand?

How particles change as they change state from solid to liquid?
if its going from a solid to a liquid the particles move FAST. if its going from a liquid to a solid the particles freeze and move VERY slowly.
How does the particles of a liquid move?
the particles of a liquid are more freely than the solid because it dose not have definite shape
How is the arrangement of particles in a solid difference from the arrangement in a liquid?
In a liquid, the particles are free to move around; in a solid, they have a fixed position. In a solid, the particles may have a regular structure (i.e., a crystal), or the structure may be irregular.
The particles in what move back and forth?
any solid, liquid or gas.
Do forces in a solid keep the particles from moving?
no it does not but the particles move slower then it would if it is a liquid, or a gas.
How are the particles in a solid arranged differently from those in a liquid?
a gas have no definite shape so the particles can move around freely but in a liquid ,which has a definite shape, particles move around but are restricted
Do particles in a solid move faster than particles in liquid?
No, particles in a solid only vibrate, whereas particles in a liquid are free to move within the liquid.

How is a liquid different form a solid?
In a liquid, the particles are free to move around, while in a solid the particles are tightly packed and will not move.
Particles in a liquid move around just as freely as particles in a solid?
Solid: Locked in a crystaline structure, however they do vibrate slightly. Liquid: Particles are attracted to one another but can flow freely. Gas: Particles move with total freedom.
How is the movement of a molecule's particles different when it is a solid a gas and a liquid?
The movement of a molecule's particles in a solid move much less and are more structured than a liquid, and a liquid's particles move less than a gas.The movement of a molecule's particles of solid move much less and are more rigid than liquid, and liquid more so than a gas.
How is the movement of a molecule of particles different when its a solid and gas and a liquid?
The movement of a molecule's particles in a solid move much less and are more structured than a liquid, and a liquid's particles move less than a gas.The movement of a molecule's particles of solid move much less and are more rigid than liquid, and liquid more so than a gas.

How does the arrangement and movement of particles change as a substance changes from a liquid to a gas and solid to a liquid?
From a liquid to a gas, the particles become more spread out and move slower. From a solid to a liquid, the particles also become more spread out and move slower.
Which particles move freely in straight lines between liquid solid and gas?
Liquid for sure. As the particles in solid only vibrate and gas particles move about at random. Liquid particles are free to move past each other but, the tend to stick together. Hope that helped.
What can particles of a liquid do that the particles of a solid can't do?
The particles of a solid can only vibrate about their fixed positions while the particles of a liquid can vibrate, rotate and translate (move from 1 place to another) within the liquid.
How are the particles in a liquid different from the particles in a solid?
a gas have no definite shape so the particles can move around freely but in a liquid ,which has a definite shape, particles move around but are restricted
