What else can I help you with?
Beta particles cannot penetrate very far into solids because they..have low velocity have negligible mass have no mass are confined to orbits?
Beta particles cannot penetrate very far into solids because they have low velocity and moderate mass. Their interaction with the solid material causes them to lose energy and slows down their penetration capability.
What is the rank from the states of matter solid liquid and gas from slowest to fastest particle speed?
The rank from slowest to fastest particle speed is: solid, liquid, gas. In solids, particles are tightly packed and have the least amount of kinetic energy. In liquids, particles have more freedom to move around but are still somewhat constrained. In gases, particles have the most kinetic energy and move more freely and quickly.
What is the compressibility of a fluid?
What kind of fluid, liquid or gas? Gases are compressible, liquids pretty much are not. (And yes, both gases and liquids are fluids; the word "fluid" comes from the same root word that gives us "flow," which both gases and liquids are capable of doing.)
How heat affects air particles?
When heat is applied to air particles, they gain energy and move more quickly. This increased movement causes the particles to spread out and the air to expand. As a result, hot air becomes less dense than cold air and rises, creating areas of low pressure that can influence weather patterns and air circulation.
Why does a liquid take the shape of its container but does not expand to fill its volume?
bc a liquid has fixed molecules, and cannot expand unless changed to a different state of matter. When changed to a gas, this liquid's molecules move much faster and can expand to take more room. When changed to a solid (frozen) the mass expands by a little bit, and the molecules slow down.
Which solids are have fixed shape and volume and they cannot flow?
Solids have a fixed shape and volume and cannot flow. Examples include metals, wood, and stone. These materials have tightly packed particles that maintain their position, giving them their fixed shape and volume.
Are Solutions are always liquids?
No, solutions can exist in various phases, including liquids, solids, and gases. A solution is composed of a solute (the substance being dissolved) and a solvent (the substance doing the dissolving), and both can be in any of the three phases.
How do solids dissolve in liquids?
By being heated up and turning into either a gas or a liquid.
Why are liquids difficult to compress?
Liquids are difficult to compress because of their molecules. Since their molecules are already tightly packed together, they cannot be compressed much more. Doing so can only slightly alter their volume.
What is a filter funnel and how is it used?
It is a glass funnel into which can be placed a circle of folded filter paper (so that it too is the shape of the funnel) liquids may then be poured into the funnel and while the liquids will drain through (to be collected at the base of the funnel), any solids will be retained on the paper.
Why are wearing safety goggles important when doing than experiment with gases or liquids?
Safety goggles are important to wear when doing an experiment with gases or strong liquids because if you have goggles on, the strong liquids or gases won't get into your eyes.
What are the particles doing solid?
The particles are moving very slowly.
Beta particles cannot penetrate very far into solids because they..have low velocity have negligible mass have no mass are confined to orbits?
Beta particles cannot penetrate very far into solids because they have low velocity and moderate mass. Their interaction with the solid material causes them to lose energy and slows down their penetration capability.

The rank from slowest to fastest particle speed is: solid, liquid, gas. In solids, particles are tightly packed and have the least amount of kinetic energy. In liquids, particles have more freedom to move around but are still somewhat constrained. In gases, particles have the most kinetic energy and move more freely and quickly.
What are the particles doing in plasma?
breaking apart
What are the chracteristsics that distinguish a state of matter trom another state of matter?
There are three basic states of matter (not including plasma), they are solid, liquid, and gas. The thing or key that distinguishes them is the state of the molecules of those objects move. In solids, the molecules are packed together very tightly which gives its solid aspect. In a liquid the molecules are loose letting the object take a flowing shape (liquid). In a gas, the molecules are very loose and going everywhere giving it its gas-like appearance.
What is an example of compression in science?
Generally applies to gases, reducing the volume by doing work on the gas raises its pressure. Elastic solids can be compressed, but liquids are usually not compressible.
