Are liquid particles randomly arranged?
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 particles in liquid?
In a liquid, the particles are attracted to each other but not as much as they are in a solid. The particles of a liquid are close together, always moving, and can slide past one another. compared to the particles in a solid or liquid, and are constantly moving.
Which type of solid is P4?
P4 is a molecular solid which occur in the form of molecules held by the group of atoms. Diamond is a crystalline solid since it has a proper inter molecular arrangement.
What type of solid is diamond?
network solid
Diamond is a network solid and consists of carbon atoms covalently bonded to one another in a repeating three-dimensional pattern. Each carbon atom makes four single covalent bonds in a tetrahedral geometry.
How are the particles arranged in a liquid?
When a substance undergoes a state change from a solid to a liquid, the speed of the particles increases. In a solid, particles are orderly arranged and considerably fixed in position. In a liquid, the particles slide past one another at a greater speed. In a crystal the particles are arranged in?
How are particles held in relation to each other?
There is strong attraction between particles, but not as strong as in solids. Consequently, the particles are tightly packed. The particles are not held in a fixed arrangement as in solids, so are able to slide past each other.
How are rigid particles locked into place in solids?
rigid – particles locked into place compressible lots of free space between particles not easily compressible little free space between particles not easily compressible little free space between particles flows easily particles can move past one another flows easily particles can move/slide past one another
How to learn particles in solids, liquids and gases?
The full lesson can be viewed by enrolling in the Year 8 Chemistry Online Course or by purchasing the Year 8 Chemistry Lesson Notes. In this lesson we will learn how the energy, arrangement and movement of particles in solids, liquids and gases determines their different properties.
