How does the energy of particles differ in solids liquids and gases?

In: Science, Chemistry, Clouds [Edit categories]

Answer:

The energy of the particles differ because in solids the particles vibrate in a fixed position and remain close.Giving a solid definite shape and volume.While the particles of liquid are moving faster,letting them have enough energy to slide past one and another.This allows liquid to take a shape of it's container.
The particles of a gas move so quickly that they have enough energy to move freely away from other particles.These particles take up as much space as possible and spread out to fit any container.

How does the energy of particles differ in solid?
All matter is makes up moving particles. The particles of a solid make small movements rapidly in a fixed position. The particles of a liquid move faster and can slide over each other. Gas particles...
How does gas differ from solids and liquids?
Gas is basically a lighter version of a liquid, which differs from solids because they don't have a atom structure. Gas acts/react differently upon some atoms, though, but besides that, liquids and...

How do particles in liquids differ from particles in a solid?
solid particles are closer together so they can't move that well. But in a liquid the particles are farther away so they can flow more smoothlyIn solids, particles are rigid and next to each other in...
