What happens to water when it's molecules slow down and move closer together?

It gets colder and denser - it is at its densest at about 4 degrees centigrade.
If the water gets even colder then it will freeze and ice will form. As this happens the molecules actually move further apart (water ice is unusual in that the solid form of water is less dense than the liquid form - which is why ice floats).

When water molecules are moving closer together in the air it's called what?
This happens when the air cools. If the water particles get close enough to form liquid, the process is called condensation.

This happens when the air cools. If the water particles get close enough to form liquid, the process is called condensation.
Which transition represents a time when water molecules are moving closer together?
Frost forms on a window pane.
When water evaporates is oxygen emitted?
No. Evaporation is when water liquid changes to water vapor. In the vapor there are still water molecules. The only sense in which there is separation is that water molecules are on average much closer together in the liquid phase than in the gas phase.
Why mercury weigh more than water?
13.7 times more. Because the atoms of mercury are heavier (more massive) than the molecules of water AND they're closer together.
When water molecules are moving closer together in the air is called?
When water molecules are moving closer together in the air it is called
Can you give me the characteristics of freezing?
The characteristics of freezing is when water (or any other liquid) turns into a solid. This happens when the liquid gets cold and the molecules get closer together. When the molecules get closer together, they form a solid (ice).
Why are molecules closer when its a solid?
molecules that start closing together turn into solid example: think of water, when molecules are loose the water is liquid but when the molecules are packed together the water turns into ice

When water molecules are moving closer together in the air it's called what?

When water molecules are moving closer together in the air there is a net?
There is a net precipitation when molecules in the air are moving together
Which of these events happens first in Earth's polar regions A Denser water sinks B Water travels as a deep current C Water molecules move closer together D Cold air chills water molecules?
In polar regions of Earth, FIRST, cold air chills the water molecules.
What happens when water gets more dense?
Molecules come closer together specific heat capacity increases ability to conduct heat increases It descends to the bottom of the container.
When water molecules are moving closer together in the air it is called what?
This happens when the air cools. If the water particles get close enough to form liquid, the process is called condensation.
When does water form clouds?
When the air cools, its molecules come closer together. Thus, molecules of water vapor in the air come closer together, too. Then, the molecules of water vapor condense (or turn from gas to liquid state) on tiny solid particles in the atmosphere. The tiny droplets of water result from condensation form the clouds that we see in the sky.
What happens to the arrangement of water molecules as water melts and freezes?
When water freezes the molecules come together and become more orderly. When water melts the molecules loosen apart.
