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.

Are particles far apart in a solid?

No, particles in a solid are closely packed together in a regular arrangement. They vibrate in place but do not move around freely like in a liquid or a gas.


Does a liquid occupy the same space as a solid?

No, liquids and solids do not occupy the same space. In a solid, the particles are tightly packed together in a fixed arrangement, while in a liquid, the particles are close together but can move past each other. This difference in particle arrangement allows liquids to flow and take the shape of their container, unlike solids which have a fixed volume and shape.


How many is the states of matter?

There are four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. These states are determined by the arrangement of particles and their energy levels.


How are the particles in a solid arranged differently from the particles in a liquid and what factors contribute to these distinct arrangements?

In a solid, particles are tightly packed in a fixed arrangement, while in a liquid, particles are more loosely packed and can move around. The distinct arrangements are influenced by factors such as temperature, pressure, and intermolecular forces between particles.


How the arrangement and motion of the particle change when a solid melts a liquid boils a gas condensesa liquid freezes?

When a solid melts to become liquid, or a liquid boils to become a gas, the arrangement of particles gets farther apart and less structured, and the motion of the molecules becomes more random and they move faster. The opposite happens when a gas condenses to become a liquid, or when a liquid freezes to become a solid.

What is the arrangement of particles in liquid?

In a liquid, particles are close together but have more freedom of movement than in a solid. The particles in a liquid are constantly moving, sliding past each other, and are not arranged in a fixed pattern like in a solid.


When a solid changes to a liquid what happens to the arrangement of particles?

When a solid changes to a liquid, the particles gain enough kinetic energy to overcome the forces holding them in a fixed position. This causes the particles to break free from their fixed arrangement and move more freely, resulting in a less organized and more fluid arrangement.

Is bromine a solid liquid or gas when the arrangement of particles is close together in a regular pattern?

Any substance with an arrangement of particles close together in a regular pattern is a SOLID. It is, infact, probably the best definition of a crystalline solid we have. The interesting thing is that this bromine must have been cooled a lot because bromine is normally a liquid at room temperature and pressure.


When the particles of a solid gain enough kinetic energy to break their ordered arrangement and slip past one another what happens to the solid?

When the particles of a solid gain enough kinetic energy to break their ordered arrangement and slip past one another, the solid undergoes a phase change from solid to liquid. This process is known as melting.


Particles have an orderly arrangement in what type of solid?

Amorphous solids can have a random arrangement of particles.


What is the difference between the state of matter?

the difference between the three states of matter is that a solid has a definite shape and volume. a liquid does not have a definite shape but does have a definite volume. gas does not have either.


What process occurs when particles in a solid absorb heat and vibrate so much that they move past one another?

When particles in a solid absorb heat and vibrate to the point where they can move past one another, the solid undergoes a phase change from a solid to a liquid. This process is called melting. The particles transition from a fixed, ordered arrangement in a solid to a more disordered, free-flowing arrangement in a liquid.
