Gas – In a gas, particles are in continual straight-line motion. 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.

Gases

Solid is the state in which matter maintains a fixed volume and shape; liquid is the state in which matter adapts to the shape of its container but varies only slightly in volume; and gas is the state in which matter expands to occupy the volume and shape of its container.

Everything that has mass and takes up space is matter. Every day, you encounter phenomena that either don’t have mass or don’t take up space. They are non-matter. Basically, any type of energy or any abstract concept is an example of something that is not matter.

Diffusion is a slow process in solids because the particles do not move from their fixed positions and only vibrate.

This is because of diffusion , the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. This means that diffusion does not happen in solids – the particles in a solid can only vibrate and cannot move from place to place.

Diffusion takes place with slowest rate in the case of solids. The rate of diffusion is almost negligible in solids. Since the particles of solid have lowest kinetic energy so they do not move. Hence, diffusion takes a long time in the case of solid.

Answer. No because there is no intermolecular space for the particles to intermix with each other. Thus tgey can not diffuse in each other.

Explanation: Yes, solids do diffuse but it is very difficult. On heating intermolecular spaces increases and force of attraction decreases.

Yes solids are capable to diffuse into each other because it is made up of particles, but it depends upon solids how much time they take.

Diffusion can take place in gases, liquids, or solids. In solids, particularly, diffusion occurs due to thermally-activated random motion of atoms – unless the material is at absolute zero temperature (zero Kelvin), individual atoms keep vibrating and eventually move within the material.

The effect on the solid produced when it is hammered, pulled or dropped will depend on the type of solid.It may break on hammering and dropping if it is amorphous, compress on hammering if it is malleable, stretch on pulling if it is ductile or it may not change if it is strong enough like stone.

if they hammered or pulled they are capable of breaking because their mass is less. no,it is not possible to compress them because solids don’t have space between particles.

SolidsEdit Because the particles don’t move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can’t flow. Because the particles are already packed closely together, solids can’t easily be compressed. Powdered solids cannot take the shape of their container.

Solids will be compressed, resulting in lots of heat as this happens (with infinite pressure, and infinitely strong materials and thus force, the matter will give), until they reach a liquid state, gaseous state, or start losing electrons and ionizing, or just stays solid all the way up to Electron Degeneracy – it …

Solids are held in fixed positions, they can only vibrate. Because the particles can not move, solids have a definite shape and volume, and can’t flow. Because the particles are already packed closely together, solids can’t easily be compressed.

have a fixed shape and cannot flow, because their particles cannot move from place to place. cannot be compressed (squashed), because their particles are close together and have no space to move into.

Solids can be cut, squashed or twisted. They will not change shape on their own. Solid materials always take up the same amount of space.

All liquids show the following characteristics:

• Liquids are almost incompressible. In liquids molecules are pretty close to each other.
• Liquids have fixed volume but no fixed shape.
• Liquids flow from higher to lower level.
• Liquids have their boiling points above room temperature, under normal conditions.

Answer: Some liquids are more viscous than others. This means that they are thicker and flow less easily. In terms of particles, viscosity is how easily the particles of the liquid move over each other. But if it is harder for the particles to move over each other, the liquid is viscous.
