What happens to the size of the molecules during a phase change?
the hotter it gets, the bigger the size will be
How do water molecules in the solid phase compare with water molecules in the gaseous phase?
if you are awesome like casy connor anthony
How do intermolecular forces effect of the properties of a substance?
A compound where the molecules are distant from each other is most likely a gas. Liquids and solids haves molecules that are closer together, with solids having the least space between molecules. As the temperature of the compound drops, molecules move closer together. There are exceptions to this rule, water for instance, has more space between its molecules when frozen.
Are all molecules the same size?
No, there is a huge variation in size. DNA and protein molecules are relatively huge. Water and oxygen molecules are quite small. Hydrogen is the smallest.
Does a solid change size?
One of the properties of solids is that it cannot be compressed or expanded (like a gas), but there are some exceptions where solids do slightly change size, usually with a change of temperature or pressure. Rubber shrinks in cold weather, for example. The amount of change and under what conditions is dependent on the compound's unique chemical composition.

Water molecules spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of?
osmosis
Why do you think that the eggs membrane will let water to enter but not corn syrup?
water molecules are smaller than corn syrup. the membrane allows a certain size of molecules.
Water molecules spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of what?
Water molecules spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of osmosis. In osmosis fluid passes both in and out of the semipermeable membrane in osmosis, but usually there's a net flow in one direction.
Does the grain size of salt change when mixed in water?
No. the molecules are simply separated from each other and mixed with the water.

Are molecules and X-rays the same size?
No. molecules are smaller.
Why is lithium chloride is deliquescent compound?
THE SMALL SIZE OF LITHIUM MAKES ITS COMPOUND MORE IONIC ,THE HIGH HYDRATION ENERGY OF LITHIUM ion MAKES IT TO HAVE HIGH AFFINITY FOR WATER MOLECULES HENCE IS EASILY PICKS WATER MOLECULES FROM THE ATMOSPHERE
How compounds and molecules are related to elements and atoms?
Atoms are the smallest units of an element into which that element can be divided. And atoms are the building blocks of molecules. Compounds are just that - something that is compounded or has two or more elements combined to make it up. Atoms are the building blocks of compounds. An atom of one element that combines with an atom of another element creates a compound, a molecule of that compound. A compound is made up of molecules, and they can be simple two-atom molecules or can be molecules that are dozens or hundreds of atoms in size.
