Does melting lose or gain energy?
Generally, melting is the process of turning from a solid to a liquid. It entails gaining energy.
Does boil water gain or lose energy?
You have to put energy IN to keep it boiling, so the water molecules gain energy (from the heating source): the answer is 'GAIN energy' and NOT (as wrongly stated before) 'LOSE' it.water only looses energy when it turns into a solid.and adds energy when turning into a gas
Do molecules gain or lose energy from evaporation?
Water molecules gain energy in order to vaporize. That additional energy is needed in order for the water molecules to overcome the attraction that they have for the other water molecules in the liquid that they are part of. In the gas phase, water molecules move independently of each other and are not connected as they are in the liquid state.
Do particles lose or gain energy when changing from a liquid to a gas?
They lose energy.
Does vaporization lose or gain energy?
Vaporatization gains energy because it is the opposite of evaporation and evaporation loses energy. Here are some other things that, like vaporation, gain energy: -melting ... ... ... ... wait one minute, let me think again... oh ya now i remember... -nothing else :D
When a solid melts do its particles gain or lose heat energy?
A material must gain energy both before and during melting.
When do atoms or molecules become more ordered?
As they lose energy, atoms or molecules will become more ordered.

When water goes through condensation do the molecules gain or lose energy?
When water gains energy the water molecules turn into vapor also known as Evaporation.

When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
When do most substances lose or gain energy?
Most substances lose or gain energy when their temperature changes.
How atoms and molecules can gain or lose energy in discrete amount?
The enrgy is always lost or gained in only the definite amount that is called as discrete or packet energy.
Do particles lose or gain energy when changing from a liquid to a gas?
They lose energy.
When neutral molecules gain or lose electrons are called?
An ion.
Does gas lose or gain thermal energy in condensation?
When condensation occurs, it is a gain thermal energy.
