What happens to the particles of a liquid in a can as it cools down after heating?

The particles will have lower kinetic energy, which will slow them down, and the pressure inside the can will decrease as a result.

What happens to the particles when an object cools?
When an object cools, the particles' kinetic energy transfers back into potential energy, the particles slow down.
Does a liquid turn into gas when the particles get colder?
No, a substance changes from gas to liquid to solid as it cools.
If liquid evaporates what happens?
In a liquid state, particles are moving at many different speeds. At the surface of the liquid, some of the faster-moving particles are able to escape into the air. Slower-moving particles stay in the liquid state. Slower motion means lower average energy, however, and this means lower temperature. As high-energy particles leave the surface of a liquid it then cools the surface on which it is resting. Scientist call this phenomenon evaporative cooling. Evaporating cooling is common and can be very useful.
What happens to the particles in a object as it cools?
The vibrational energy of the atoms and molecules reduces.
What happens in the phase change of condensation?
In the condensation phase change, a gas cools (loses energy) and changes to a liquid. Example: water vapor turns into liquid rain.
A liquid cools down and changes to solid what happens to the speed of particles?
The average speed of the particles decreases.
What happens when heat is removed a liquid and it cools?
A liquid becomes a solid when heat is removed. The energy content decreases, and the speed of the particles decrease.
What happens when heat is removed from liquide and it cools?
A liquid becomes a solid when heat is removed. The energy content decreases, and the speed of the particles decrease.

When an object cools, the particles' kinetic energy transfers back into potential energy, the particles slow down.
Does a liquid turn into gas when the particles get colder?
No, a substance changes from gas to liquid to solid as it cools.
What happens to the water vapor in the air when the air cools?
It condenses and it becomes liquid
What happens to the silver particles as the melted silver cools down?
No
How does a gas change back to a liquid?
Usually this happens when a gas cools. It becomes more dense as the gas particles move more slowly. Eventually it condenses and so it changes back to a liquid.
What happens when heat is removed from a liquid and its cools?
A liquid becomes a solid when heat is removed. The energy content decreases, and the speed of the particles decrease.
What is water vapor becoming liquid water as it cools?
Condensing happens when water vapor cools and becomes liquid water.
What happens when a gas cools and turns into liquid?
Condensation
