Difference between the movement of particles in a solid and in a liquid?
The particles(atoms or molecules solids don't move to much and the particles in liquids always move
The Particles in a Solid are?
closely packed together in a regular arrangement. They vibrate in place but do not move past each other. The strong intermolecular forces hold the particles together in a fixed position.
Why are iquids and gases take the shape of the container they are stored in and why solids do not?
Liquids and gases take the shape of their container because their particles are not held in a fixed position and can move freely. In solids, the particles are tightly packed and vibrate in a fixed position, so they maintain a definite shape.
In solids particles move back and fourth but do not change?
In solids, particles vibrate in fixed positions but do not change their positions relative to each other. This restricted movement allows solids to maintain their shape and volume.
A physical state composed of particles that vibrate in a fixed position is?
A solid. In a solid, particles are closely packed and have limited movement, vibrating in place without much freedom to roam.
What can particles in a solid do?
Particles in a solid can vibrate in a fixed position, but they cannot move freely past each other. This gives solids their fixed shape and volume.
Do particles in a solid vibrate around a fixed point?
No, the vibrations depend on how much energy the particles have. If a solid is heated from the left side, the particles on the left will vibrate more than the particles on the right. Solid particles vibrate as each individual particle, not as a group or around a fixed point.
Does the particle in a gas vibrate in their fixed position?
Yes they can vibrate because they can't move freely.yes, particles in a solid vibrate in place so fast they look like they aren't moving.
Are particles in this state of matter keep their shape occupy a fixed volume and vibrate in a fixed position a liquid?
Nope, that's a solid.
Particles in a solid are packed so close together they can only what?
Particles in a solid are packed so close together that they can only vibrate in place. This is why solids have a fixed shape and volume. The strong forces of attraction between particles hold them in a fixed position.
What happens to the particles when a candle is burning?
The particles which are in a fixed position because the candle is a solid heat up and vibrate more this makes the candle expand
Difference between the movement of particles in a solid and in a liquid?
The particles(atoms or molecules solids don't move to much and the particles in liquids always move
Particles vibrate in place?
In a solid, particles vibrate in place due to their fixed position and tight arrangement. This vibrational motion is random and occurs around a fixed point or lattice position in the solid structure. As temperature increases, the amplitude of the vibrations also increases, leading to expansion and changes in the physical properties of the solid.
Particles in a solid cannot move around they can?
vibrate in place within their fixed positions. This is due to the strong intermolecular forces that hold the particles together in a rigid structure.
In what state of matter can particles only vibrate in place?
In a solid state of matter, particles are closely packed and can only vibrate in place. They have a fixed position and cannot move around freely like in liquids and gases.
The Particles in a Solid are?
closely packed together in a regular arrangement. They vibrate in place but do not move past each other. The strong intermolecular forces hold the particles together in a fixed position.
What happens to a liquids particles when freezed?
If I am not wrong..this is what I learnt in chemistry. When a liquid is being frozen, the particles of that liquid will lose kinetic energy and slow down, causing them to move closer together. Thus, as the gaps between the particles decrease and the particles themselves get into a fixed position, it becomes a solid & the particles [only] vibrate in their fixed position. =D
