In solids, particles are tightly packed together and have a fixed shape. in liquids, particles are loosely packed together and will form to the shape of their container. both solids and liquids have a fixed volume. But gases do not. Their particles have no forces of attraction so they will spread out to fill their container. this means they have an undefined volume. But atoms in each state are still made up of neutrons and protons inside the nucleus, with electrons orbiting around it.

How does sound affect mater?

sound is mainly caused by vibrating particles and matter consists of matter and the 3 states of matter are solids liqiuids and gasses and due to the way particles are spaced in the different states of matter we will have sounds travelling at different speeds as it crosses the different states of matter.


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.


What is the difference between states of matter and particles of matter?

The most obvious one is that the states of matter are a "bulk property" of a large collection of interacting particles of matter, while particles of matter are the individual constituents (e.g. molecules, atoms, subatomic particles) that matter is made of and do not have any "bulk properties".


The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made of particles whose speed is dependent on what?

The kinetic theory of matter states that matter is made of particles whose speed is dependent on their mass and temperature. The kinetic theory states that particles in matter are always in motion.


Which of the following determines the states of matter?

The states of matter are determined by the arrangement and movement of particles within a substance.


The kinetic theory of matter states that all matter is composed of?

Moving particles


What result from the fact that particles in matter have energy?

The particles stay rigid in all states.


What is particles theory of matter?

The Particle Theory has 4 laws: 1) All matter is composed of particles 2) Each of these particles have spaces between them 3) These particles are always in a constant state of motion 4) Because some particles are Negative, & some Positive, they are attracted to each other.


How are liquid particles gas particles and ice particles the same?

They are all made of matter; just in different states.


Why is chemistry considered a science for everyday?

How the particles that make up the states of matter are organized?

Does matter exists as particles that move independently of one another regardless of what that state they are in?

No, in may states of matter the movement of particles is largely restricted.
