What causes puddles to evaporate?

Heat energy from the sun and the ground cause puddles to evaporate. The heat energy breaks the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and when the water molecules are heated to a high enough temperature, they will leave the puddle, forming water vapor.


When do water molecules have the highest amount of energy?

water molecules have the highest amount of energy when the are heated to infinity.


The most famous examples of thermal energy?

A 12 ounce glass of water at 70 degrees has more thermal energy than a 12 ounce glass of water at 60 degrees.Adding ice to a glass of water causes the temperature of the water to decrease because the thermal energy in the water causes the ice to melt.A grill gives off thermal energy by burning propane.The sun's thermal energy heats our atmosphere.Thermal energy from a hot stove is transferred to a metal pot and causes the water molecules to move faster increasing the temperature of the water.


What happens to water molecules as the temperature increases?

Water molecules will gain thermal energy as temperature increases. This will cause them to "move around" or "vibrate" more because they are thermally excited by increasing heat. At some point, the excitation is so great that the water, which we frequently see as a liquid, will evaporate or boil off to change state into a vapor or 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.

Carbon dioxide,water and light energy


What causes water to evaporate during the water cycle?

The principal cause is the kinetic energy of water molecules situated at the surface.


Why does ice still melt in water?

Fire is pure energy being released. And it takes energy to move molecules around. Where ice is concerned, the water molecule has been sapped of all energy which causes it to remain in place and stick to other water molecules.. When the energy from fire comes in contact with the water molecule, the molecule absorbs the energy which causes the molecules to break away from each other and move. When the molecules break away and move is what causes a solid like ice to become a liquid.


What happens to the water molecules when the plants absorb light energy during photosynthesis?

Water is broken by photolysis .


What is a unique property of water Describe the property and explain the chemical or physical reason that causes water to have the property?

Hydrogen bonding causes water molecules to connect . The energy required to break multiple hydrogen bonds causes water to have a high heat of vaporization; that is, a large amount of energy is needed to convert liquid water, where the molecules are attracted through their hydrogen bonds, to water vapor, where they are not.


The use of light energy to convert water and carbon dioxide into energy-rich glucose molecules are called what?

photosynthesis


What are light dependent reactants?

Photolysis of water by solar energy trapped by chlorophyll molecules are light dependent reactions.


What causes water to evaporate and why is evaporation important in the water cycle?

Increasing the kinetic energy of water molecules located at the water surface favors evaporation.


The use of light energy by organisms to convert water and carbon dioxide into organic molecules is?

Photosynthesis.


What are the basic principles of sonoluminessence?

Soundwaves are run through a bubble in water which causes the bubble to violently collapse. As the gas molecules collide at high speeds, heat and light energy is given off.


Light energy creates water molecules?

No. Light energy does help create sugar by providing the necessary energy to convert Carbon Dioxide into organic compounds, mostly simple sugars.
