The answer depends on the nature of the particles and the energy of the collision. Large uncharged particles (eg billiard balls in a typical mechanics problem), colliding with moderate amounts of energy will probably bounce off one another. Their behaviour after impact will obey Newton's laws of Motion. A collisoin with more energy might result in one or both particles breaking.

An electron colliding with a proton will leave a neutron and a release of energy in the form of a photon. Collisions between protons will create a range of other sub-atomic particles - the exact particles will depend on the energy of the colliding protons.

What happens to energy particles when they are frozen?

When energy particles are frozen, they lose their kinetic energy and become less active. This often leads to a decrease in their movement and expansion. In solid form, the particles are tightly packed together and vibrate in fixed positions.


What happens to particles in steam when cooled?

When steam is cooled, its particles lose energy and slow down. As a result, the steam condenses back into water vapor or liquid water. The particles move closer together due to the decrease in thermal energy.


What happens when the motion of particles slows?

When the motion of particles slows down, the particles will have less kinetic energy. This could result in a decrease in temperature or a phase change, depending on the substance. The particles may also start to move closer together, leading to changes in density or pressure.


What happens to the particles in bromine as it i cooled?

As bromine is cooled, the particles comprising the bromine slow down and lose kinetic energy. Eventually, the particles come closer together, forming a liquid as the temperature decreases further. At the point where the bromine reaches its freezing/melting point, the particles will arrange into a solid structure.


What happens to the particles of a liquid as the liquid freezes?

As a liquid freezes, its particles slow down and move closer together, forming a solid crystal lattice structure. This results in a decrease in the random motion of the particles and a decrease in the volume of the substance as it transitions from a liquid to a solid state.

What process happens when minerals are precipitated out of water and holds particles of rocks together?

That process is called cementation.


What happens to the particles in gas when it is made into liquid and wheat is it called?

When a gas turns into a liquid, its called condensation. The particles slow down and move closer together.


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.
