What is the difference of particle motion solids,liquids,and gas
astra-53 [7]
Solids have particles that are very closed together and vibrating but not moving around, liquids particles move around and are spaced out more than a solids but do not move as much as gas particles. Gas particles and spread out and move around each other with ease

Molecules of sugar are attracted to each other and form crystals. If you place sugar in water, the crystals break apart, but the
suter [353]

Answer:

Explanation:

So here's the thing . Sugar molecule is a molecular solid . It a relatively weak molecule

We all know the formula of glucose ( which is a sugar type molecule ) which is C12 H22 O 11 . This is basically bonded together by dipole dipole forces ( remember that this force of attraction is weak ) .on the other hand you have the solution ( which is usually water) .water is held by strong attraction forces known as hydrogen bonding .since this type of bonding is greater than dipole dipole forces .therefore when glucose is dropped in water . water is easily able to obercome the forces that are keeping the glucose molecule intact . therefore the molecule dissolves and breaks into pieces. Hope this helps

Why do transitioning electrons release or absorb energy?
Tom [10]

Answer:

when an electron jumped into higher energy level  from lower energy level it must absorbed the energy because with small amount of energy it can not jumped into higher energy level.

when it came back to lower energy level it release extra energy.

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy because electron can not stay longer in higher energy level and comes to ground state.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum .
