When heat is added to particles. The particles start to get heated which forces them to move at a greater speed then before, when you add heat to the particles they speed up and move faster. If you make particles colder then they will move at a slower speed.

∙ 11y agoAbsolutely, and quite quickly. There are three ways that heat is transferred from one object to another, and they involve understanding the kinetic energy of atoms. Heat is nothing other than the transfer of energy. Matter stores energy in many ways, but the primary way is in the vibration and/or motion of the atoms. If the atoms are vibrating/moving rapidly, it's a "hot" object. If the atoms are fairly still it's a "cold" object (or more accurately, a less hot object).
Conduction: Atoms in one object conduct heat via direct contact or collision with atoms in a different object. this sets the new ones moving, and slows the original atoms. So the hot object cools, and the cold object warms. Think of falling dominoes, no domino really moves, but the energy is transfered.
Convection: the "hot" atoms physically move to a new location, such as hot water rising in boiling water. This brings cold atoms into contact with the primary heat source, allowing them to be warmed. This shares a lot of traits with conduction (atomic collisions and such) but with the added requirement that the atoms physically shift from one location to another.
Radiation: When a charged particle accelerates, such as during a collision, or during vibration it sends out photons of light. So hot objects send out lots of photons, while cool objects send out less (and of lower energy too). These photons travel through space, not needing matter, and interact with distant atoms, sending them vibrating and moving. This form of transfer is generally the least efficient, but does not require matter.

∙ 9y agoMolecules are supposed to move. They always move unless they are at absolute zero. However if the molecules speed up, temperature increases as well as volume.
Or: yes. (consider water near freezing)

∙ 13y agoHeat is the motion of the molecules or atoms or subatomic particles. The more motion, specifically, the more kinetic energy, the more heat.

Atos and moluceus are in many places, and many places have heat!

How does heat affect the molecules in a substance?
They rapidly vibrate. Yes, they do, but how rapidly depends on the amount of heat (kinetic energy) added to the molecules. If solid, they will eventually melt depending on which solid and what its melting point is. If liquid, they will eventually become a gas or vapor, and a gas will expand indefinitely into the atmosphere if not contained within something. Think of water: ice heats to liquid water which in turn becomes steam (vapor) which goes out into the atmosphere unless it is contained. If the container cannot expand and the water vapor (or any other gas) continues to be heated, eventually the gas will cause the container to explode because the internal pressure will exceed the ability of the container to hold it.
Why does ice melt in your hand and make your hand cold?
your body temperature is higher than that of an ice cube's, so your fast-moving molecules in your hand hit the slow-moving molecules in the ice cube, warming it up. the transfer of ice to water is just to let the atoms and molecules move about free-er in liquid form.
Why does water heat up more slowly than land?
The molecules that compose or make up a solid, such as land, need more energy or in this case heat, to move them. The molecules are compact where as in liquid they have more mobility. When a substance heats, its molecules move faster. Since liquid's molecules have more mobility, liquid heats more quickly.
What three things do you need to make a fire?
Fuel, oxygen and heat or an ignition source are the components needed for a fire.
How does heat make things dry when the molecules are actually moving faster not slower?
the water molecules move away, e.g. evaporate
Why do you get heat?
Quite simply, heat occurs because the molecules in an object or substance move very quickly. All matter, or substances, contain molecules which are always in a state of motion, and actions such as movement can make the molecules move faster, creating heat. Heat transfers because it is energy which travels in waves, and when it touches something else, the molecules in the new item or substance also become excited, moving faster and faster to create heat.
How does heat make molecules move?
The heat energizes the molecules.The molecules of air will move here and there as they are free. Molecules of solids vibrate at there place.Due to heat the molecules get energized that is the main thing.
How does conduction heat things?
The vibrating atoms/molecules in the hot sustance make the atoms/molecules in the cooler substance vibrate and this vibration gradually spreads along the substance.
Can all objects contain heat?
Heat is the vibration of the atoms or molecules that make up things. As all atoms can vibrate and all objects are made of atoms, all objects contain heat energy.
How does heating water make a train move?
the molecules are moving faster and the electrons are moving to higher levels
What does heat make molecules do?
Heat gives energy to the molecules or the atoms.hence the energized atoms or molecules start vibrating and their power of bonding with other atoms or molicules become weak.
What three things make things make An ATP molecules?
adenosine triphosphate

Why does a microwave have a magnetic?
i am not as sure to what a magnetic means but i do know a microwave has a magnetron and the way it heats food is by putting out microwaves that make the water molecules vibrate which warms the item because more moving molecules in an object means heat which makes the food hot
What has heat?
heat-is has moving molecules *the main source of heat is the sun * sun or heat has many uses it dries wet clothes,evaporates water and help plants have light to make the plants food which is very important so the plant will grow well and if we know sun is very important to make photosynthesis (making food of a plant) if there is no plant we had nothing to eat
Does alcohol make molecules move?
Heat makes molecules move. Alcohol, if used as a solvent, makes some molecules more mobile.
