Does boil water gain or lose energy?
You have to put energy IN to keep it boiling, so the water molecules gain energy (from the heating source): the answer is 'GAIN energy' and NOT (as wrongly stated before) 'LOSE' it.water only looses energy when it turns into a solid.and adds energy when turning into a gas
What type of energy does water gain when it sits in the sun?
Heat energy
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.
Does steam gain or lose energy when it condenses to form water?
lose
Does freezing gain thermal energy?
Yes. When ice is converted to water, thermal energy is required. When the water is converted back to ice, the same amount of thermal energy is released.
Where in the water cycle does water vapor gain energy?
Water gains energy in evaporation to become water vapour.
Does water gain energy when evaporated?
yes
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.

What kind of energy does water gain it travels down a waterfall?
Kinetic Energy.
When does water turn to a gas?
When water is heated up, it's particles gain energy. When they gain enough energy (when the water is hot enough), they break free of one another and escape as steam(a gas).
Does water gain or lose energy as it evaporates to form steam?
It's energy doesn'tchange.
Can gases in the atmosphere gain energy from the land and water?
False
What is happening to water molecules while water is boiling?
The molecules gain energy. As they gain energy, they vibrate faster and faster until they have the energy to break the intermolecular bonds and turn into a gas. This happens at 100 degrees C.
How did water evaporate?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere.
