In steam at 110 degrees Celsius do particles move the most rapidly?
no, the particles can reach 111oC, can't they?!?!?!
When steam becomes water what are the particles of matter?
When steam (or "water vapor") becomes water, the particles are condensating or becoming condensation. This is because the particles are cooling down, thereore not moving fast enough to remain a gas; so it becomes a liquid.
Why is an ice cube not compressible?
An ice cube is not compressible as all the particles of ice are already very close to each other. Compression can be imagined as bringing the particles of a substance closer together. Consider a cylindrical container having a piston over its opening and containing steam inside it. If you push the piston down (like in an injection syringe), the steam gets compressed and the particles come closer and the attraction between the particles will increase and thus the steam will form water. If you try to compress it further, and lower the temperature( which reduces the energy of the particles), it will form ice and the particles cannot come any closer to each other. It is just like us humans, if you are hyperactive and energetic and overly active, you cannot just sit in one place and will randomly move about(like steam particles). If you are normally active, you will move about but to a lesser extent(like water particles). but if you are extremely lazy and have very less energy, you will refuse to move about(like ice particles). there is nothing that comes after this. hope this helps! :)
What is the difference between clouds and steam?
Steam is made when water changes it's physical state from liquid to gas from heat. Clouds are formed when millions of water and dust particles gather together. Also, clouds don't form over boiling pots of water
Why do the particles in ocean water have less energy than the particles in steam?
The particles in steams have more energy because the particles are far apart, move rapidly, and are constantly in motion. Particles in the ocean are not in fixed positions and do not constantly move quickly.
Are the particles in steam close together?
steam is a gas so the particles are far apart
Which has the most energy particles in steam particles in liquid water particles in ice or particles in freezing water?
The particles have most energy in particles in steam. In a gas. the particles move more freely, Therefore, there is more energy in the steam. :D LOL
What has the greatest entropy per mole ice water or steam?
Steam will have the greatest entropy
Which order of the diagrams indicated deceasing distance between atom?
ice steam and water
Do particles in steam collide?
Yes, of course.
What happens to the closeness of a material's particles when they are heated?
The particles are bonded together with some force when heat is supplied the then force between particles decreases and the start to move away from each other or we can say that the particles get that energy and become energetic and movement starts in individual particle and the force between the particles decrease. This is why when water is heated the particles detach from each other become steam.
Why is radioactive steam so dangerous?
If the steam is enclosed between two valves and heat is continually added to the steam, the steam will become superheated and the pressure will increase which could cause an overpressure of the pipe.
What was the greatest invention created by James Watt?
his greatest invention was the steam engine

What happens to particles during evaporation?
They turn into steam and rise to the ceiling.
How does steam appear?
the particles of water vibrate in warm/hot temperatures, and at 212°F, it vibrates enough to evaporate, producing steam.
