What happens to the atoms of a gas when the gas is cooled?
Mbsanchez0311
The atoms loose kenetic energy and bounce around slower. This causes the gas to have less preasure and, if cooled enough, can cause the gas to condense into a liquid or sublimate into a solid.

What happens to gases as they are heated or cooled?
they tend to vibrate
Why must helium be cooled to 4k before it will condense explain the fundamental process?
The single atoms of helium gas are small, and has small surface area. They must be cooled to 4K before their attractive forces cause them to condense.
When cool dry air sinks from the upper atmosphere toward the Earth's surface what happens?
water vapor happens or gas flows into the air
What substance would gas change into if it was cooled?
a liquid then if cooled further it would turn into a solid a liquid then if cooled further it would turn into a solid
What state change occurs when the gas is cooled to 100 degrees Celsius?
gas to a liquid
What happens to a gas as it is cooled below 0 degrees?
this is known as liquifaction if the gas is cooled to liquid.
What happens to viscosity in a gas when cooled?
The viscosity increase when the temperature decrease.
What happens to gases as they are heated or cooled?
they tend to vibrate
What happens to atom and molecules when matter is cooled?
Nothing happens to the atoms within the molecules,but the molecules move around slower.
What happens when water vapor is cooled?
it turns back from a gas to a liquid
What happens when you cool a gas?
It becomes liquid.This was discovered by an Indian scientist Dr.Navjosh in 1532 A.D. The speed of motion of the gas molecules (or atoms) is decreased. If the gas is enclosed in a fixed volume, the pressure will decrease. If the gas is at a fixed pressure, the volume will decrease. If cooled sufficiently, the gas may condense into a liquid or directly into a solid, depending on the gas pressure and type of gas.
What happens the atoms when a substance change state from a liquid to gas?
Vaporization is what happens when a liquid is changed to a gas. When a gas is changed to a liquid it is called condensation.
When a container of gas is cooled what happens to the gas inside?
Gas pressure decreases when cooling down a closed container.
What happens when gas cool down?
When cooled enough it will condense into a liquid. The required temperature changes with the substance.
Why must helium be cooled to 4k before it will condense explain the fundamental process?
The single atoms of helium gas are small, and has small surface area. They must be cooled to 4K before their attractive forces cause them to condense.
When cool dry air sinks from the upper atmosphere toward the Earth's surface what happens?
water vapor happens or gas flows into the air
What happens to the particles in a gas when its cooled?
They slow down and come closer together forming a liquid. Then further cooling will produce a solid.
