How does a substance gain heat?
A substance gains heat, or otherwise known as thermal energy, in many different ways. These can be from pressure, friction, the transformation of chemical energy to thermal energy, the transformation of electromagnetic energy to thermal energy, potential energy to the energy of motion (kinetic energy) or a substance can become exothermic during, and after a chemical change if the amount of energy produced from the broken bonds is greater than the amount of energy required for rearranged bonds to be made.
How can energy be conserved if a substance must gain or lose thermal energy to change state?
Heat is a form of energy. It is just being transferred to the temperature bath (air, water, whatever). It hasn't been destroyed.
What happens when a liquid is heated-?
The kinetic energy content increases and the speed of its particles increases.
What causes a substance to change its state of matter?
As thermal energy increases or decreases, a substance will change state. This relates to temperature in that the higher the temperature of something, the greater its thermal energy.
What happens to energy in a substance when i change state?
As energy is absorbed, the energy moves up to other electron shell levels, but as the energy is released, it goes back to zero (ground state) and the energy is given off as light.
How does a substance gain thermal energy?
substances can gain thermal energy by heating them or applying electric shocks
What will happen to the molecules or atoms of a substance when it melts?
the atoms will begin to giggle around more as they gain thermal energy.
Does gas lose or gain thermal energy in condensation?
When condensation occurs, it is a gain thermal energy.

Does matter gain energy and evaporates when it is heated?
Matter gains energy when it is heated due to a thermal transfer. It does not always evaporate when heated as this varies based on the specific material being heated.
When condensation occurs does does lose or gain thermal energy?
its loses thermal energy...
What does a substance gain or lose when its temperature changes?
The density of the substance becomes higher because of the particles slow down and move closer together when the substance cools.
What happens to the temperature of a substance when you prevent gain or loss of thermal energy?
If you define "thermal energy" as heat, and the "substance" is not affected by any energy that increases or decreases its temperature, by definition, nothing will happen to its temperature. If the substance reacts to electromagnetism, light or other radiation, it may increase or decrease its temperature, depending on the nature of the substance and its reaction to those energies. Note: See Discussion question.
Does melting los or gain thermal energy?
A solid melts when it gains enough thermal energy.
What happens to thermal energy during the process of conduction?
conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy and vibrate more. These molecules then bump into nearby particles and transfer some of their energy to them. This then continues and passes the energy from the hot end down to the colder end of the substance. argo the thermal energy is represented as an increasing variation from base levels of vibration.
Does water gain or lose energy as it evaporates to form steam?
It's energy doesn'tchange.
Do hurricanes gain energy?
Yes. Hurricanes gain energy from moisture that evaporates from warm ocean water. A hurricane could never develop if it were unable to gain energy.
