we know the constituent particles in liquids and gases can collide with each others. Is the same also possible in solids? give reason
Answers
Answer:
1.In general, solids are denser than liquids, which are denser than gases. .
2. The particles in the solid are touching with very little space between them.
3.The particles in a liquid usually are still touching but there are some spaces between them.
4.The gas particles have big distances between them.
#Solid –
1. In a solid, the attractive forces keep the particles together tightly enough so that the particles do not move past each other.
2. Their vibration is related to their kinetic energy. In the solid the particles vibrate in place.
#Liquid –
1. In a liquid, particles will flow or glide over one another, but stay toward the bottom of the container.
2.The attractive forces between particles are strong enough to hold a specific volume but not strong enough to keep the molecules sliding over each other.
#Gas –
1. In a gas, particles are in continual straight-line motion.
2.The kinetic energy of the molecule is greater than the attractive force between them, thus they are much farther apart and move freely of each other.
3. In most cases, there are essentially no attractive forces between particles.
4. This means that a gas has nothing to hold a specific shape or volume.
