When things are heated they are receiving energy, which causes the particles within the substance (in this case, custard) to want to increase their velocity (aka speed) the problem with this is that they will keep bumping into other particles which also have high velocity, keeping the overall object generally stationary. On the atomic level (very small scale) all the particles are vibrating at a magnitude equivelent to the energy they have gained.
Also the chemicals within the custard may gain enough energy to break their inter-molecular forces (aka Van der Waals' forces) which hold molecules within the custard together. If heated high enough the atoms may gain enough energy to overcome the bond energy holding them together in the form of molecules... If these break the custard will boil off into the atmosphere.

When a sample of gas is heated what happens to the motion of the particles?
The motion of particles is accelerated.
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 to the speed of gas when heated?
The speed of the gas particles will increase as they are heated. That is why the pressure in a container increases. The particles are hitting the walls of the container with more force as they are heated.
What happens when particles get heated?
they get excited and move around faster
What happens to the particles in copper when heated by a Bunsen burner?

What happens to the particles ina gas went they are heated?
The particles start moving faster and the matter expands.
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
What happens to the particles in a solid when it is heated but not melted or burned?
Thermal expansion occured.
What happens when a heated liquid turns into a gas?
Its particles acquire greater kinetic energy.
How do particles move when they are heated?
Particles move faster when they are heated.
When a substance is heated its temperature increases. What happens to the energy of its particles?
The energy of its particles increases, so as the particles speed up move faster causing its heating up.
What happens to a fluids viscosity when it is heated?
the particles move alot faster, but when there cold they start to slow down
