How does the arrangement of particles determine the physical properties of different states of matter?​

Chemistry

Usimov [2.4K]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Matter may exist in three phases; solid, liquid and gas. The state in which matter exists depends on the extent of intermolecular forces operating in the substance.

In solid particles, the molecules that compose the solid are close together because the molecules of a solid do not move from place to place but they continue to vibrate about their fixed position.

For liquids, the molecules that compose a liquid are in random motion but are less energetic than molecules of a gas.

In gases, the molecules are not held together at all. The molecules of a gas have the highest degree of freedom. They move from one point another at a high velocity.

Hence, the order of increasing degree of movement of the particles in different states of matter = solids<liquids< gases.

Solids have well arranged particles, the molecules of a liquid are a little more disorderly than liquid particles while gas particles are the most disorderly of all the states of matter.

Explain the similarities and differences between putting a beaker of ethanoic acid in the refrigerator and mixing it with sodium
frez [133]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

When a beaker of ethanoic acid is placed in the refrigerator, its temperature drops and the vessel feels cool.

Now, when we mix ethanoic acid and sodium carbonate, an endothermic reaction occurs, fizzing is observed as carbon dioxide is given off and heat is lost to the surroundings causing the reaction vessel to feel cool to touch.

The difference between putting ethanoic acid in the refrigerator and adding  sodium carbonate to the solution is that, in the former, no new substance is formed. The substance remains ethanoic acid when retrieved from the refrigerator. In the later case, new substances are formed. The substance is no more ethanoic acid because a chemical reaction has taken place.
