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

Biology

Kazeer [188]3 years ago

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

Reika [66]

Answer: True.

Spleen framework is created by reticular fibres from reticular cells.

Explanation:

Spleen is an organ found mostly in vertebrates. It develop from mesenchymal cells within the dorsal of mesogastrium near the greater curvature stomach. The mesencymal cells then divide and differentied to form framework of connective tissues of spleen. The framework of spleen is created by reticular fibres of the reticular cells. Reticular fibres are fibres in the connective tissue that is composed of type iii collagen secreted by reticular cells. Spleen function in filtering of blood. It plays a major role in red blood cells and immune system.
