What kind of radiation? Remember, Beta radiation is particles (electrons)
and Alpha radiation is Helium nuclei.
Some radiation will transfer energy to particles ... which may speed them up,
it may heat them,
it may cause fluorescence.

What happens when molicules are heated?
When molecules are heated they become more active. When they are cooled, the slow down.
What happens to liquids and gases as they are heated?
The molecules in side move or spread apart
Describe what happens to gas molecules when air is heated?
The gas molecules go upward. Sorry I dont have any more information but this was all I ould find out
What happens to water molecules when they are heated?
Like all molecules, a molecule of H20 is in constant motion; 'hot' molecules move faster than 'cold' molecules. If the molecules move slowly enough the substance appears stationary to us (frozen water) and if they move quickly enough they will expand to fill their container (vapor or gas water.)
What happens to gas ina container when it is heated?
The gas molecules receive kinetic energy and start to vibrate
What is the movement of molecules as they are heated unevenly called?
Random Motion
What is convection result of?
currents caused by the motion of heated molecules
What happens to the molecules in a balloon when they are heated?
they pop
What happens to sucrose molecules when heated?
new molecules starts to form
When a sample of gas is heated what happens to the motion of the particles?
The motion of particles is accelerated.
What happens when molecules are removed from heat?
the molecules will decrease in motion
What happens to the oil molecules when it is heated?
Thermal decomposition
What happens to molecules when water is heated from 90 to 110 Celsius?
The liquid molecules are transformed in gas molecules.
What happens to the molecules of air when they are heated?
they get exited and move faster than cold molecules
What happens to Brownian motion when heated?
It occurs more rapidly.
What happens to matter when it is heated or cooled?
It changes the vibrations of the molecules.
What happens when molicules are heated?
When molecules are heated they become more active. When they are cooled, the slow down.
