What happens to particles in a solid when they are heated or cooled?
if they are heated then they turn to a liquid, if that are a soled well they are hard like ice
Why does the liquid expand in a thermometer when it gets hotter?
In a thermometer is a liquid metal called Mercury, so the liquid expands when it is heated up.
How does a glass thermometer works?
As the liquid in the thermometer is heated it expands, and the only way the expanding liquid can go is upward. As the liquid in the thermometer cools, it will contract, and the liquid will fall back down into the resevoir, causing the column of liquid to move downward.
How does the particles of a liquid behave when heated?
When a liquid is heated, the particles gain energy and begin to move more rapidly. This increased kinetic energy causes the particles to move farther apart and slide past one another more easily. As a result, the liquid expands and becomes less dense.
When a liquid is heated the particles get enough energy to move is called?

What happens to the particles in a liquid when they are heated?
The particles in a liguid are bonded (not as strongly as a solid which is why it flows.) when it is heated the particles vibrate and eventually the bonds break and the particles break away. This is evaporation.

What happens when a heated liquid turns into a gas?
Its particles acquire greater kinetic energy.

When a liquid is heated what happens to inter particle spaces?
The particles spread out and 'jumble' . Hope this helps ;) x
What happens what happens to liquid particles when heated?
They begin to vibrate more quickly when a liquid is heated, it will evaporate. ie. the liquid will turn to vapour (gas). if the vapour i s collected, it will turn back to the liquid again once it is cooled (condensation) muck love, kate
