<span>Atoms move at different speeds depending on whether they are in liquids or solids </span><span>because the atoms or particles in solids are closely bonded while they are loosely bonded in liquids.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>The attractive forces between the particles are so high that they remain in fixed positions. The particles, then, cannot slip over the neighbors particles. They can only vibrate. That is why solids have definite form and volume.</span><span />

<span>That the particles in liquids are loosely bonded means that the attractive forces are less compared with solids. Then the partilces can move and pass each other. They are not in fixed arrangements any more. Yet the particles are attracted to each other, so they have definite volume, although they take the form of the vessel, and they can flow.

Explain why vanadium (radius=134 pm) and copper (radius=128 pm) have nearly identical atomic radii, even though the atomic numbe
Viktor [21]
<span>There are few main factors affecting the atomic radii, the outermost electrons and the protons in the nucleus and also the shielding of the internal electrons. I would speculate that the difference in radii is given by the electron clouds since the electrons difference in these two elements is in the d orbital and both has at least 1 electron in the 4s (this 4s electron is the outermost electron in all the transition metals of this period). The atomic radio will be mostly dependent of these 4s electrons than in the d electrons. Besides that, you can see that increasing the atomic number will increase the number of protons in the nucleus decreasing the ratio of the atoms along a period. The Cu is an exception and will accommodate one of the 4s electrons in the p orbital.

</span><span>Regarding the density you can find the density of Cu = 8.96g/cm3 and vanadium = 6.0g/cm3. This also correlates with the idea that if these two atoms have similar volume and one has more mass (more protons;  density is the relationship between m/V), then a bigger mass for a similar volume will result in a bigger density.</span>
