Does the size of the particles change as a substance changes state

Biology
1 answer:
Kazeer [188]4 years ago
7 0
Ok, particle is not a very nice word, no real sense of size associated with it
it can be a group of molecules like a speck of sand
referring to the molecules themselves
or refering to the atoms that make up the molecule

now in terms of phase change,
if we consider a speck- a group of molecules- then solids will expand when heated, however this definition falls flat in terms of phase change

ok, how about molecules, as molecules undergo phase change, the molecules in relation to each other will move apart from one another. Solid- molecules are bonded, Liquids- molecules are close and flow around each other, Gas- molecules are a significant distance from one another. But the increase in size when you heat up a molecule, i would have to say yes. adding heat increases energy which increases molecular vibration which would probably  increase the overall average size to some unnoticeable degree.

now standalone atoms are just atoms, if you want to consider the electron cloud as size, then heating it up would negligibly cause the outer move outward. but it really depends on the scale of the question

When you begin an experiment, why should you create a table to record your data?
Salsk061 [2.6K]
It helps you organize your data, and so its not a complete mess when you need to refer back to it. It will help you organize and not confuse and miscompare information.  It also looks better and looks like you know what you're doing.

PLEASE ANSWER QUICKLY BRANLIES AND 100 POINTS WHOEVER ANSWERS PROPERLY.
seraphim [82]

Explanation:

Robins are born in the spring or summer and are mature birds and ready to breed in the following spring or summer. They do not mate for life. Pairs usually remain together during an entire breeding season, which can involve two or three nestings. However, in spring, sometimes a male and female who mated the previous year will both return to the same territory and end up together for another year. This happens most frequently when they were successful raising babies the previous year. Robins lay one egg per day, for a total of 5–6 eggs in a clutch. The eggs hatch about 12 - 14 days after the last egg was laid. Baby robins jump from their nest when they are about 13 days old, but the range is 9 - 16 days. After leaving the nest (fledging), it takes another 10-15 days for babies to become strong fliers and independent birds. The parents continue to feed their young during this period.

Most robins die their first year. But the lifespan goes up dramatically for the ones that survive this critical time, because they've learned so many important life skills. Of those that survive their first year, most wild robins live to be about 5 or 6. As of February, 2001, the longest-living banded wild robin ever recorded had survived 13 years and 11 months, according to the Bird Banding Laboratory at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center. In captivity, robins have survived longer than 17 years.
