Write the differences between the three states of matter with respect to the following:
a) Arrangement of particles b) Empty space between the particles
c) attractive force between the particles.
Answers
Answer:
There are three common states of matter, solid, liquid and gas. A gas and a liquid will change shape to fit the shape of their container. A gas will change volume to fit the volume of the container.
Answer:
a). Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. ... gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
b). There is empty space between particles and particles are constantly moving (their speed is changed by temperature). The particles in solids and liquids are quite close to each other, while those in gases are a very long way apart
c). 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. ... 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.
