The particles of a substance that are able to slide past one another are called "fluid." This property allows fluids to flow and take the shape of their container. Liquids and gases are examples of fluids.

What is the state of matter that has particles that slide by one another?

The state of matter that has particles that slide by one another is called a liquid. In liquids, the particles are close together but can still move past each other, giving liquids their ability to flow and take the shape of their container.


How can a substance flow?

A substance can flow when its particles are able to move past one another. This typically occurs when the substance is in a liquid or gas state, allowing the particles to freely slide or flow around each other. Factors such as temperature, pressure, and molecular structure can influence how readily a substance can flow.


Do liquid particles move?

Yes. They slide past one another.


When are particles able to flow over each other?

Particles in a substance are able to flow over each other when the substance is in a liquid or gas state. In these states, the particles have enough energy to move around and slide past each other, allowing the substance to take the shape of its container.


How is temperature related to energy?

Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a substance, As a substance gains kinetic energy, its particles begin to move faster. While solids vibrate in place, the particles in a liquid slip and slide past each other, and in gasses, the particles move even faster and further apart. As the kinetic energy of a substance increases, the particles collide with one another with greater force and frequency. Every time particles collide, there is friction between them. Just as your hands get warm when you rub them together, the particles begin to warm as they collide. This is why there is a direct relationship between the temperature and the kinetic energy of a substance.


What is a slide called on an instrument?

They are called slides. They do not have another name.


When are molecules of a substance in motion?

Molecules of a substance are in constant motion. Whether you have a solid, liquid, or gas, the particles are moving (but the speed and amount they move differs). Particles of a solid move the least (they basically vibrate), particles of a liquid can flow around one another, and particles of a gas have a lot of space between them because they move in random, constant motions.


What is it called when you slide an object with another object?

Push.


What force a substance that reduces friction and makes objects slide past each other?

That substance is called a lubricant. An example would be oil.

A substance classified as a fluid contains particles that?

A substance classified as a fluid contains particles that can move past each other easily, giving it the ability to flow and take the shape of its container. Fluids can be either liquids or gases.


How do particles in a solid substance change when energy is added?

The particles themselves don't change, but their behavior does. If you are simply heating a solid, but not to the point of a phase change, the particles remain locked in place but they vibrate faster. If you heat a solid to the point that it goes through a phase change, the particles start to vibrate fast enough to break the intermolecular bonds and keep them broken enough to allow the particles to slide past and around one another.
