Solids don't mix well, but gases and liquids mix easily in most cases, why?

Question

pleese help i need for my homework for extra school

Answer 1

density of matter

Answer 2

Solids are compact structures with v. less intra-molecular spaces between them which makes mixing difficult. It also reduces the effective surface area available 4 combining.
In gases & liquids there is enough inta-molecular space 4 them 2 inter-combine easily; the space being max. in gases.

Answer 3

solid
particles in the solids such as ion,molecules or atoms are closely pack together with intermolecular forces.Therefore,there is only little space between the particles causes the particles only can vibrate and rotate about their positions but cannot move throughout the solid.The particles are in fixed positions.

Liquids
There are strong forces between the particles and the particles are closely packed together.The particles are not in an orderly arrangement and they can vibrate,rotate and move throughout the liquid.Therefore,there are more spaces between the liquid where other particles can fill in and mix well since they can move throughout the liquid.

Gas
There are no forces between the particles.The particles in gas are far apart from each other and the particles are in random arrangement.Since the space between the particles are so far,the particles can move around freely / randomly and easily mix with each other.
:P.Good luck!!

Answer 4

due to the molecular construction of each type of matter.

In solid, the molecules are tightly packed, motion is restricted to minimal vibrations, there is no room for other molecules to occupy in the same volume of space. Hence, they do not "mix"

In fluids (liquids and gases), the molecules are relatively more loosely packed. Motion is extended to "flowing" of particles from where there is more of them to where there is less of them. There are still spaces in between the molecules for other particles to occupy. Hence, they can "mix".

Answer 5

It's simple.

It's because solid has really close and compact particles. Particles are arranged in an orderly manner.

But as for liquids and gases, their particles are not arranged in an orderly manner. The particles are also distant from one another and moves freely.

Answer 6

Because solids have higher density and high inter molecular force than liquids and gases.
