What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between the molecules in a hot solid and hot liquid?
The molecules in a solid vibrate in place. The molecules of a liquid are moving about.
What state of matter has less energy solid or liquid?
Solid. The molecules are not moving as quickly because of it's state of matter. That's why it is a solid.
Is there a relationship between gas and solid?
Yes, a gas is the same as a solid except the molecules are moving farther apart. In a solid they are bunched together.
How do molecules act in a solid?
In a solid, molecules are tightly packed and held in a fixed position by strong intermolecular forces. These forces prevent the molecules from moving freely past one another, giving solids their definite shape and volume. The molecules only vibrate in place, leading to the solid's rigidity.
Why are solid dense than liquid and gases?
The atoms or molecules are moving faster, causing them to be farther apart.
What happens to the molecules when a solid is melted?
When a solid is melted, the molecules gain enough energy to overcome the forces holding them together in a rigid structure. As a result, the molecules move more freely and take on a more disordered arrangement, transitioning from a solid to a liquid state.
What are molecules always doing?
Molecules in a solid are constantly vibrating. Heating a solid increases the vibration of the molecules. Solids stay fixed because of the attraction between their molecules. This can be broken by increasing heat and therefore vibration to the point of inducing a phase change.
How are molecules in a particular solid different from the molecules of the substance in a liquid form?
molecules in solids are stationary whilst those in gases and liquids move around, more though in liquid.
What happens to the molecular movement as a gas turns into a solid?
It decreases. In gaseous phase the molecules are further apart than they are in the solid phase so although in solid phase the molecules are still moving minimally they haven't got the space to move around in that they would in the gaseous phase.
What happens to molecules of a substance as it changes from a solid to a to a gas?
Molecules in a solid are tightly packed together, that's what makes it a solid. As it begins to change phase to liquid, usually as the result of some form of heat being applied, the molecules begin to move faster and roll past eachother and "flow" Molecules in the gaseous state are moving at their fastest and will expand to fill the available space.
In which of the phases of matter do molecules have the highest amount of energy?
Molecules have the highest amount of energy in the gas phase because the molecules are moving faster and have more kinetic energy compared to the solid and liquid phases.
Is ice just water?
ice is water. its just that the molecules of water slow down the vibrations that are moving and they turn into a solid, and what you get is Ice
