Best Answer

Molecules react to thermal energy, or heat, as well as pressure. When you increase the temperature of molecules, they will increase their vibration and movement. Pressure can also allow molecules to move from one area to another.

Energy of the molecules increase in the state of vaporization.


When energy is transferred to molecules and they move faster does temperature increase or decrease?

increase


What is decrease in for the hole in the ozone?

Decrease in for the hole in ozone is the ozone molecules. Increase is the UV rays.


Why don't you get the same result each time you measure your resting pulse rate?

because each time your pulse rate may increase or decrease it depends on your movment


Can the removing of energy increase the volume of a substance because the molecules come closer together?

No. It can increase the volume in some cases, but not BECAUSE the molecules come closer together. If the molecules come closer together, the volume will DECREASE.


When energy is converted to molecules and they move faster does temperature increase or decrease?

As molecules move faster, they cause friction, which increases the temperature of the molecules.


What is the movement of atoms in a liquid during a temperature changes both increases and decreases?

As temperature increases, the atoms will move around more energetically - moving on average faster. Translational speeds increase, rotational speeds of the molecules increase, and the magnitude of vibrations of the atoms about their bonds in molecules increase As temperature decreases, the atoms move around less energetically - moving on average slower. Translational speeds decrease, rotational speeds of the molecules decrease, and the magnitude of vibrations of the atoms about their bonds in molecules decrease


On the molecular level what causes gas pressure?

On the molecular level pressure is caused by individual gas molecules interacting with the surfaces of a container. Pressure is defined as force per unit area, so in the most basic level pressure can increase with an increase in force applied to the container or a decrease in area the molecules are interacting with. The decrease in area can be from a smaller container, or an increase in force can be from an increase in the velocity of the molecules. This increase in velocity is usually due to an increase in energy (typically heat).


When matter is warmed does kinetic energy increase or decrease?

It increases. Heat is the kinetic energy of vibrating atoms/molecules.


Why does the density of liquid increase as it cools?

As something cools down, the kinetic energy of its molecules decrease. This corresponds to a decrease in volume occupied of the substance, so the density decreases.


How according to le châtelier's principle how will a pressure increase affect a gaseous system?

The total number of gas molecules will decrease.


Does water always have the same energy?

No. The energy you might be referring to is kinetic energy which is the energy possessed by individual water molecules. An increase in kinetic energy will be percieved as and increase in temperature. Similarly a decrease in kinetic energy will be percieved as a decrease in temperature.
