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. The following figure illustrates the microscopic differences.
Microscopic view of a gas Microscopic view of a liquid. Microscopic view of a solid.
Microscopic view of a gas. Microscopic view of a liquid. Microscopic view of a solid.
Note that:
Particles in a:
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.
Particles in a:
gas vibrate and move freely at high speeds.
liquid vibrate, move about, and slide past each other.
solid vibrate (jiggle) but generally do not move from place to place.
Liquids and solids are often referred to as condensed phases because the particles are very close together.
The following table summarizes properties of gases, liquids, and solids and identifies the microscopic behavior responsible for each property.
Answer:
Yes, the velocity would also be zero.
Explanation:
Acceleration is the change in velocity over time, therefore, there has to be a change in velocity for something to accelerate. which means without acceleration, the object has no velocity.
Answer:
The uniy which is accepted all over the world is called SI unit.
Explanation:
The system of measurement that is agreed by the international convention if scientists that is held in paris of France to adopt an international unit is called SI unit unit.
