A comet is made up of icy dust particles and frozen gases such as water, carbon dioxide, methane, and ammonia. When a comet comes closer to the sun, these ices can vaporize and form a glowing coma and a tail.
A mechanical mixture made up of solids and gases consists of solid particles dispersed in a gas. The solid particles are not dissolved in the gas but are simply mixed together, such as dust particles in the air.
Dust particles in your house are made up of a variety of materials, including dead skin cells, pet dander, pollen, dirt, and fibers from clothing and furniture. It can also contain tiny particles from outdoor pollutants that have made their way inside.
Sunlight does not directly cause dust to accumulate. Dust is mainly made up of particles like skin cells, pollen, and dirt that settle on surfaces over time. Sunlight can highlight dust particles, making them more visible, but it does not cause them to accumulate.
Particles of a gas are in constant, random motion. They have negligible volume compared to the volume of the container they are in, and are separated by large distances. Gas particles also exert negligible forces on each other.
Yes, gases can contain charged particles, such as ions. For example, in a plasma state, gases can contain both positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons. These charged particles play a crucial role in the behavior and properties of gases in certain conditions.
