What are the particles in solids liquids and gases?

Solids, liquids, and gases are made of tiny particles called atoms and molecules. In a solid, the particles are very attracted to each other. They are close together and vibrate in position but don’t move past one another.

How do the particles in a solid liquid and gas differ?

The particles in the solid are touching with very little space between them. The particles in a liquid usually are still touching but there are some spaces between them. The gas particles have big distances between them.

What are the 5 characteristics of the particles in a solid?

solid have a fixed shape and a fixed volume.

  • solid cannot be compressed.
  • solids have high density.
  • force of attraction between the particles is very strong.
  • The space between the particles of solids is negligible.

    • What is a liquid particle?

    The particles that form a liquid are relatively close together, but not as close together as the particles in the corresponding solid. The particles in a liquid have more kinetic energy than the particles in the corresponding solid.

    How do particles move in liquids?

    In liquids, particles are quite close together and move with random motion throughout the container. Particles move rapidly in all directions but collide with each other more frequently than in gases due to shorter distances between particles.

    How do particles move in a solid?

    Point out the following about solids: The particles (atoms or molecules) are attracted to each other. The particles (atoms or molecules) vibrate but do not move past one another. The solid retains its shape.

    How are particles arranged in liquid?

    The particles in liquids are arranged in a random way, and are close together, touching many of their neighbours. There are some gaps, but liquids cannot usually be compressed or squashed. The particles of a liquid have enough energy to break free of some of the forces of attraction between the particles.

    What are the 5 characteristics of gases?

    What Are Five Properties of Gases?

    • Low Density. Gases contain scattered molecules that are dispersed across a given volume and are therefore less dense than in their solid or liquid states.
    • Indefinite Shape or Volume. Gases have no definite shape or volume.
    • Compressibility and Expandability.
    • Diffusivity.
    • Pressure.

    What are 6 characteristics of gases?

    Characteristics of Gases

    • Gases have neither definite shape nor definite volume. They expand to the size of their container.
    • Gases are fluid, and flow easily.
    • Gases have low density, unless compressed.
    • Gases diffuse (mix and spread out) and effuse (travel through small holes).

    How do solid particles move?

    gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds. liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other. solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.
