Particles of a solid are attached to each other, by chemical bonds. Particles of a gas are not.

Unlike solids and liquids a gas will?

take the shape and volume of its container, as the gas particles are free to move and spread out to fill the available space. This is due to the lower intermolecular forces between gas particles compared to solids and liquids.


Why can the vulume of a gas change and the solid of a remain constaant?

In a solid,particles are packed tightly to each other while the gas particles are not packed tightly. So the gas particles can be compressed and can change the volume. Solids cannot be compressed to change the volume.


How the motion of particles differ in gases liquids and solids.?

The motion of particles in gasses, liquids, and solids are all different. Gas particles can move much more quickly than solids.


Are liquids and solids particles heavier than gas particles?

Are the particles of gas packed tightly together?

No, they are not packed tightly together. The particles in solids are. In gas, they move in random motion and are the furthest apart, compared to solids and liquids. Hope this helps :)


Is dust a form of gas?

No - you cannot see gas particles. Dust specks are solids.


Why diffusion is fastest in gas and slowest in solids?

Maybe its the slowest in solids because the particles on it is compressed or tightly squeezed.While in gas, they are the fastest because the particles moves freely because gas is the most spacious matter of the 4.


Are particles of a gas close together?

No they are the furtherst away out of solids, liquids and gases.


What are mechanical mixture made up of solids and gases?

A mechanical mixture made up of solids and gases consists of solid particles dispersed in a gas. The solid particles are not dissolved in the gas but are simply mixed together, such as dust particles in the air.


Are substances made of particles?

there are lots of substances made up of particles, solids, liquids, gas etc.


What has to be overcome for a solid to change to a liquid and a liquid to a gas?

The energy between particles. The particles must be heated so that there is no forces of attraction, therefore the solids particles can loosen into liquid particles and the liquids particles can loosen into gas, the heat energy is used to make the particles move faster


Is the attraction in particles stronger in liquids then solids?

In general, the attraction between particles in liquids is weaker than in solids. In liquids, particles have more freedom to move around, which is why liquids can flow and take the shape of their container. In solids, particles are held more tightly together, which is why solids have a definite shape and volume.
