Gas
This process is called evaporation.
Yes, during a change of state such as from a gas to a liquid or a liquid to a solid, cooling causes particles to come closer together and form more ordered structures. In a gas, the particles are more spread out and have higher kinetic energy compared to a liquid or solid where particles are closer together and have lower kinetic energy.
Boiling occurs when the intermolecular forces holding a substance in the liquid state become overwhelmed and allow the particles to separate into the gaseous state. Particles in the gaseous state are roughly 2000 times farther apart than in the liquid state, which causes expansion of the substance in its gaseous form.
As a liquid evaporates, particles on the surface gain enough kinetic energy to break free from the intermolecular forces holding them in place. These particles escape into the air as gas, resulting in the liquid gradually losing mass and transitioning into a gaseous state.
A physical change from solid to liquid state is caused by an increase in temperature, which provides enough energy to overcome the forces holding the solid particles together. This causes the solid particles to gain enough kinetic energy to break free from their fixed positions and move more freely, resulting in the transition to a liquid state.
Evaporation is the physical change of state of a liquid to a gas (or vapour). It is the loss of particles at the surface only, and these particles remove the kinetic energy of the fluid which causes cooling e.g. sweating. The reverse is condensation.
Heat causes particles of matter to gain energy and move faster. This increased movement results in an expansion of the matter, leading to a change in state from solid to liquid, or from liquid to gas.
When the particles in gas coming off a pan of boiling water are moving, it indicates that the water is undergoing a phase change from liquid to gas through evaporation or boiling. The energy from the heat causes the water molecules to gain kinetic energy and escape into the air as vapor. Meanwhile, the particles of the water in the pan are also moving, but their movement is constrained to the liquid state, where they vibrate and move past each other, maintaining their liquid structure. Overall, both the gas and liquid particles possess kinetic energy, but the gas particles are in a more energetic and free-moving state.
A decrease in heat energy that causes the particles in matter to move more slowly is called cooling. When heat energy is removed from a substance, the kinetic energy of its particles decreases, leading to slower movement. This process can result in changes of state, such as from gas to liquid or liquid to solid, as the particles come closer together.
A liquid can expand when thermal energy is absorbed which is known as thermal expansion, but the thermal energy is not enough to change the liquid's state. When there is enough thermal energy, the liquid may change to a gas if the particles move fast enough to escape the liquid or it may change to a solid if the thermal energy is released from the matter.
