Chemistry fags.

So if ive got pure gas in a container. And all the atoms are whizzing around. Wtf is in between the atoms as they roam around? Space?

>> No.2166123

pure gas

Yeah but the atoms arent touching. So whats in between?

There's nothing in between the atoms, a complete vacuum. Same thing "between" basically everything. This should be obvious to you. At any rate, if you want to get incredibly technical, you could say that the wavefunctions of the atoms are in between the atoms.

Would it be possible say. If you had a container of some sort with a gas on the inside and some how attract the atoms to one side of container separating the atoms from this space?

>> No.2166157

>>2166148
I have no idea what you're asking, but there is a thing called "cooling" which stops these moving atoms. So you take your jar and put it in a "refrigerator" and magically the atoms will "separate" towards the "bottom" of the "jar."

So if i had some pure gas in a container and then i froze it. And all the solid fell to the ground what would be left in there?

>> No.2166166

>>2166148
are you talking about condensing a gas?

or are you talking about shoving electrons into the core of an atom?

>> No.2166171

>>2166165
If you freeze the gas solid, and it had been previous completely filled with gas, and your container was perfect

then that empty space would be pretty close to a vacuum ( or BE a vacuum since we're talking hypotheticals ).


Example:
Heat up an empty soda can. I doesn't have to be too hot, but heat it enough so that you think its hot.

Put this soda can in ice cold water.

Observe results.

Ok so ive got a immovable container. Full of a certain type of gas. If i froze the gas inside of it some how, wouldnt the volume of the solid be less then the gas? So if this solid forms and all forms on the bottom of this container wouldnt there be a empty space above it?

>> No.2166185

>>2166177
yes

>> No.2166189

>>2166177
There would still be some vapor pressure, even at the solid state, but in a perfect system going to absolute zero yes a vacuum and a solid would result.

>> No.2166192

Yes the pressure in the container would be very low. But it is extremely difficult to freeze out all the gas molecules due to thermodynamic reasons.

Yo were animals if you haven't noticed. How the fuck else are we supposed to figure this out.

But thanks.

>> No.2166210

The atoms themselves consist almost entirely of empty space, never mind the space between them.
