Do a gas' particles decrease when it turns to liquid?
No, when a gas turns to liquid the particles just slow down and get much closer together.
What happens to the particles of a solid as the temperature increases?
Nothing until it hits its melting point. Once it hits its melting point, its particles begin to move more freely, and the solid turns into a liquid.
When a solid is heated it turns into a liquid what happens when it is cooled?
It contracts.
Do particles get bigger and fill a larger volume when a liquid turns into a gas?
Particles don't get bigger, however they fill a larger volume when turned into gas, this is because of diffusion, this is when particles in a higher concentration move to a lower concentration, this happens everyday in your body and in the domestic house hold
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 as a liquid turns into a solid?
the particles move and they shift into a blob. or the liquid is frozen
What happens when a heated liquid turns into a gas?
Its particles acquire greater kinetic energy.
What happens to the particles in gas when it is made into liquid and wheat is it called?
When a gas turns into a liquid, its called condensation. The particles slow down and move closer together.
What happens to particles when it turns to gas?
States of matter are determined by the amount of Kinetic Energy they have. When a gas becomes a liquid, it loses energy, and the particles slow down enough to affect each other. This is why liquids have a volume.
What happens to the particles that make up a solid if enough heat is added to melt it?
The particles begin to separate. If it turns into a gas, the particles will be more spaced out. Rather to a liquid.
Do a gas' particles decrease when it turns to liquid?
No, when a gas turns to liquid the particles just slow down and get much closer together.
What happens when solid turns into gas?
The gas can't generally turn straight into a solid, it has to change into a liquid and then a solid. When a gas turns into a liquid, the particles go closer together into groups and condensate. When the liquid turns into a solid, the particles all compress into a small space thus making a solid object.-----------------------------------------------------------------------But the phenomenon of change from a gas to a solid is also very known and is called deposition.
When the particles of a solid gain enough kinetic energy to break their ordered arrangement and slip past one another what happens to the solid?
It turns to a liquid
What happens to the particles as the temperature of a solid increases?
Nothing until it hits its melting point. Once it hits its melting point, its particles begin to move more freely, and the solid turns into a liquid.
What happens to the particles of a solid as the temperature increases?
Nothing until it hits its melting point. Once it hits its melting point, its particles begin to move more freely, and the solid turns into a liquid.
When a gas turns to a liquid the energy of the particles?
When a gas turns into a liquid, the gas cools and then loses energy. This is the process known as condensation.
What happens to a liquid when you freeze it?
It turns to a solid.
