Molecules speed up when they are turned from liquid into vapor. This is because they have more freedom to move around due to gaseous properties. Gases conform to the volume of the container, so they have more room to spread out, compared to liquids that do not have the ability to change volume
What else can I help you with?
Do the fastest or slowest moving molecules break away from the surface of liquid water to form water vapor?
The fastest moving molecules are more likely to break away from the surface of liquid water to form water vapor. This process is called evaporation, and it occurs when molecules with higher kinetic energy overcome the intermolecular forces holding them in the liquid phase.
What happens to the speed of molecules in water vapor when it condenses to form a liquid?
When water vapor condenses to form a liquid, the average speed of the water molecules decreases. This is because the molecules are moving closer together and are held more tightly by intermolecular forces in the liquid state.
What is the process called when fast moving molecules break away from the surface of liquid water to from water vapor?
evaporation i think but i am not sure
What is a scientific word for liquid moving up?
water vapor or vapor
Vapor pressure increases over a liquid in a closed container until?
Vapor pressure increases over a liquid in a closed container until the amount of vapor molecules rejoining the liquid equals the number leaving the liquid to form vapor. This is the characteristic vapor pressure of the substance.
When water molecules are moving closer togather in the air it is called?
When water molecules are moving closer together in the air, it is called condensation. This process occurs when the air cools down and the water vapor in the air changes into liquid water droplets.
What happens to the molecules of water vapor when the temperature of the gas cools?
the water vapor turns to liquid
What happen to the molecules of water vapor when the temperature of the gas cools?
the water vapor turns to liquid
When water molecules are moving closer together in the air is called?
When water molecules are moving closer together in the air, it is called condensation. This process occurs when the water vapor in the air loses heat, causing the molecules to slow down and come together to form liquid water droplets.
What is the difference between water vapor molecules and liquid water molecules?
They are made of different states of matter
What is the difference between the molecules in a hot solid and hot liquid?
The molecules in a solid vibrate in place. The molecules of a liquid are moving about.
What is vaporization throughout a liquid?
You may be referring to boiling. First a little background.Vaporization is a phase change from the liquid state to the gaseous (or vapor) state. When a liquid vaporizes or evaporates, the more energetic molecules in the liquid leave the surface and enter the vapor phase in the air above the liquid. Because its the more energetic molecules that leave the liquid, and the kinetic energy of a molecules is related to the temperature, vaporization is a cooling process. Another term for this is endothermic, meaning it takes in heat.When a liquid is below its boiling point, not all molecules uniformly have enough energy to enter the vapor state. Some molecules have more energy and go into the vapor, others don't and stay behind in the liquid state. As an average, the liquid exhibits a vapor pressure less than that of the atmosphere. The vapor pressure of a liquid is a function of its temperature.When a liquid reaches its boiling temperature, however, that means the liquid's vapor pressure (as a whole) equals that of the atmosphere. So instead of evaporation just from the surface, now you see bubble of water vapor forming throughout the liquid and rising to the surface.
