Arrange the states of matter of a given substance in terms of increasing potential energy.?
For most substances the answer would be solid < liquid < gas. As the molecules spread further apart they have greater potential energy. This is part of teh reason why you need to put in energy to melt or evaporate substances.
Motion and arrangement of particles in each of three states of matter: solid, liquid, gas?
Gas particles move much faster than those in a liquid or solid. Gas molecules take up all the available space no matter what size the container is. (So a gas will be more compacted if the container is small, and more widespread if the container is large). The motion of gas particles is entirely random. The particles can undergo all three types of particle motion: vibrational, rotational and translational. In a liquid, there is actually a constant volume. Within this constant volume, however, it does take on the shape of the container (but if the container is too large, the liquid will not be able to fill it entirely). The particles are much more closely packed than they are in a gas. The particles of a liquid are only free to move within the liquid itself (unless it moves so fast as to escape the liquid and become a gas, which is what occurs when a liquid is heated to boiling point). Liquid particles can undergo both vibrational motion and rotational motion (not translational). Finally, a solid has a definite and rigid shape, that is irrelevant of the container's shape and size. Like a liquid, it also has a constant volume. The molecules are more closely packed than they are in a liquid. The particles can only undergo vibrational motion.
How are particles arranged in the three states of matter?
There are three main states of matter: solid, liquid and gas-Solids have molecules that are packed together so that they do not move around. The molecules are not too far apart so that they are able to move around.Liquids are able to flow and move around because their molecules are not packed too closely together, so they are able to move.Gases are able to spread out because there is a lot of space between the molecules, which allows them to move as well.
How are molecules arranged in the three states of matter?
Gaseous molecules are attracted to each other with weak inter molecular forces, mostly Van der Waals forces of attraction. They move freely to occupy any space that they exist in, and travel at great speeds in that space (1150 mph for N2 molecules at 25 degrees Celsius).Liquid molecules are typically organised in a much more dense manner, inter molecular forces are sometimes the same as those in gaseous matter, but typically they include ionic attractions, hydrogen bond, or induced dipole forces. They do not move to occupy the space that they exist in, and will move at slower speeds.Solids molecules are attracted to each other by the same inter molecular forces as liquids. In addition, ionic and covalent bonds are (sometimes) present. They are typically denser than liquids, the main exception to this is water.I could go into the more nuanced states of matter, super-fluids, plasma etc. but I don’t want to be pedantic.
What is the arrangement of molecules in plasma?
There is none! They are flying every which way, as they would in a hot gas, plus the electrons are flying separately from the positive ions, adding more chaos into the works. Or do you mean blood plasma, a totally different proposition?
What are the three states of matter and how do they differ from one another?
Matter is all around us. Matter is the air you are breathing. Matter is the computer you are reading from now. Matter is the stuff you touch and see. And it is more. Matter is defined as anything that hasmass and takes up space. Matter is found in 3 major states; solid, liquid and gas. Solid:Matter that is composed of atoms packed tightly together are known as solids. You cannot walk through a solid wall. The matter is packed so tight that it prevents you from moving through it. Solids hold their shape at room temperature. The pencil that you left in the desk at school will still be the same shape when you return tomorrow.Liquid:Liquids do not hold their shape at room temperature. There is space between the atoms of a liquid and they move slightly all of the time. This allows you to stick your finger into water and pull it back out, letting the water fill back in where your finger once was. But when walking through the water in the swimming pool, you have to push the water out of the way ‐ this means that you feel the heaviness of the water. Liquids flow or pour and can take on the shape of a container. If the liquid is poured into a wider or narrower container, the liquid will take on that new shape. Liquids are affected bygravity. If you pour only half a cup of milk, the top half of the container would have no milk. Liquids cannot be handed to another person well without the container. Imagine going into a restaurant and asking for lemonade. What if the waiter just put the lemonade into your hands ‐ no glass or cup? Could you lay the lemonade on the table to drink in a few minutes? Even water in a river or a lake has a container ‐ the banks, the bottom, the shore ‐ they form the container.Gas: Gases not only do not hold their shape at room temperature, they don't even stay put. Gases are always moving. There is so much space between the atoms in gas that you can move around in them easily. When you walk from one side of the room to the other, you have walked through a bunch of gases that make up our air. You barely even know they are there. Gases will take on the shape of their container and can be compressed into a smaller space. Like when we compress air into a balloon ‐ it fills out the balloon shape. Gases will fill up the space too. You don't see only half of the balloon filled with air ‐ the air is not as influenced by gravity as a liquid or a solid would be.
What is the molecular motion in the three states of matter?
Solids behave as if the molecules are attached by little springs, thus they vibrate about fixed positions, amplitude and frequency being governed by temperature and mass, respectively.Gases have zero intermolecular attraction, so behave like billiard balls, moving in a straight line in all directions at all different speeds, average speed being governed by temperature, unless they (very rarely) interact with each other or (frequently) interact with their container walls.Liquids are a combination of the two - their densities suggesting they behave more like sloppy solids than viscous gases.
Describe the arrangement of molecules in liquid water and in ice?
In ice, the molecules are tightly packed together and orderly arranged and vibrating. In liquid water, the molecules are more loosely packed together, but they still have some order between the particles except not as rigid as that of solid water. The molecules in a liquid slip and slide past each other while particles in a solid are closely vibrating.
What is the difference between the three states of matter?
Solid: cells/molecules more extremely slow, giving it it's firm consistency. Liquid: cell/molecules are more free-moving, allowing it to take form of the dish it is in. Gas: cells/molecules are erratic, unstable, and the most free-moving.
How and when does matter change states?
Okay let me see how simple can I make it for you…Matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms.In solids, the group of atoms is closely packed. They have minimum energy and a very strong force of attraction among themselves so they cannot move around.Now if we provide some energy (heat) to this solid, the force of attraction among the atoms weakens. So now the atoms are not so closely packed, so they can move to some extent. This is liquid.Now if we provide more energy to this liquid, the force of attraction among the atoms further weakens. Now the atoms are not at all packed and have enough energy to move anywhere in the space. This is gas.Now let us take an example.A group of students was sitting very close to each other in a classroom. The students were completely exhausted so they simply stuck to their seats because they did not have enough energy to move. This is solid state.Now, they were served some glucose drink which gave them some energy. Now they could move and chatter. This is liquid state.Then the peon told them that the school would remain shut for a week. This good news gave them so much energy that they broke the hell loose. Now they could be seen running in and out of the classroom in excitement. This is gaseous state.This is the simplest way i could think of. Hope it works!…
