What happens to molecules in a liquid or gas when they are heated?

when the molecules in a liquid or a gas are heated they move apart, or expand, and the hot, less dense molecules rise and the cold, more dense molecules sink and fill the space then get heated while the hot air that had just went up cool down and they switch doing that as long as the heat source stays. in turn for this switching a convection current starts. ! (p.s im twelve and telling you this but i know what im talking about so this is a completely true explination)

What happens to the water molecules as they start to heat up?

Heating water molecules causes them to move faster and faster. Water when cool is in a way (sticky). When heated the water molecules are moving far too quickly stick together.
