What happens if a molecule with a high kinetic energy happenes to be close to the liquid's surface?

Then that molecule will escape the surface of the liquid and become a molecule of gas. This is the process by which water slowly evaporates even when not heated.

How does the kinetic energy of solids liquids and gases compare?
Gases have the highest kinetic energy, followed by liquids, and then solids. -apex
How does the kinetic of solids liquids and gases compare?
The kinetic energy is lowest in solids, higher in liquids, and highest in gases.
What is the difference between solids liquids and gases in terms of kinetic energy?
Solids have the lowers and gases the highest kinetic energy. Liquids are in the middle.
What happens when liquids mixed with liquids?
It depends on what the liquids are.
Why do some liquids freeze faster than others?
Because some liquids have less kinetic energy.
What does convection involves?
Covection is a method of transfer of heat from one region to another. It occurs in fluids ( liquids and gases) but not in solids. It involves the actual movement of the fluid molecules in the form of kinetic energy such that as one molecule hits the other, the kinetic energy is transferred thereby transferring the heat.
When do liquids gain kinetic energy?
kinetic energy is energy in the form of motion... in other words a liquid must be moving to have any kinetic energy
Why is kinetic energy of liquids more than solids?
The kinetic energy in liquids is greater than that in solids because the molecules in solids are more closely packed together than in liquids such that liquids can freely move about within the containing vessel.
Which has kinectic energy solids or liquids or gases?
Any of them can have kinetic energy - which is the energy "stored" in movement. So, a solid object moving has kinetic energy. In liquids and gasses, the atoms / molecules that make them up are in constant motion too, so they have a little kinetic energy as a result.
Is molecule movement greater in liquids or gases?
molecules move more in gasses gasses>liquids>solids
What is the kinetic formula for solids liquids and gas?
K = 1\2 mv2
The greatest kinetic energy is found in gases liquids solids colloids?
Gases
