When a solid, liquid or gas is heated the particles in the substance speed up and gets less dense. The particles also spreads out.

What does the particle theory suggest about the motion of the particles of solids-liquids and gases when they are heated?

When a solid, liquid or gas is heated the particles in the substance speed up and gets less dense. The particles also spreads out.


When a substance is heated what is happening to its particles?

As temperature increases, particle motion increases proportionally.


When a fluid increases does its particles occupy less space?

Liquids, solids and gasses EXPAND when heated- the particles occupy more space.


What expands and how does that expansion indicates the temperature?

Solid,Liquids,Gases expand when heated. Heat makes the particle attraction low hence the space between the particles increase and the thing expand. The expansion is the increase in the moleculer space of substances.


When a liquid is heated what happens to inter particle spaces?

The particles spread out and 'jumble' . Hope this helps ;) x


Does each air particle expand as air is heated?

it is not the heat particle that expand it is the intermolecular space between them increases by particles moving further apart and all particles move apart by gaining kinetic energy but not at the same time.


Why does evaporation occur rapidly at a higher temperature?

Because the faster particles move (particles move faster when heated -particle theory-) the faster they bounce off each other. Energy is used to break apart the bond that liquids have (fairly tight, sort of loose) and transform them into gas particles, which often leave a damp residue on a window, glass, etc.


Liquids contract when heated?

Liquids expand when heated and contractwhen cooled.

What is a theory in science for kids?

The particle theory is a good theory that's sort of simple to understand. The particle theory consists of five parts. 1) All matter is made up of small particles 2) The particles are attracted to each other. 3) Particles are always moving. 4)When heated, particles move faster and move farther apart. 5) There are spaces between each particle.


When molecules in liquids and gases are heated they?

When molecules in liquids and gases are heated they move faster


How do liquids evaporate when heated?

When the liquid is heated, the particles are given more kinetic energy. This means that they will move faster and further apart. As the particles move faster and further apart, the intermolecular forces become weaker. So it evaporates (becomes a gas)
