In most cases where an atom gains energy, one or more electrons are shifted to a higher orbit around the nucleus, although in some cases an electron may be shifted completely away from the atom.
OR
The velocity of the entire atom becomes greater.

∙ 11y agoan electron cant lose enery. energy comes from the amount of electrons. the more electrons, the more energy. however an ion is a charged particle that can gain/lose electrons. if it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged. if it gains an electron, it becomes negatively charged.

- they split apart

What happens to a rubber wheel when its heated?
It will melt if heated hot enough.
What happens to gas in a balloon when that gas is heated?
The gas will expand as it is heated.
What happen to lift forks if heated?
When a fork is heated it may loose its temper what happens to the metal in this state?
What happens to the pressure of gas when it is heated and why?
The molecules of a gas move faster when heated so the pressure increases.
What happens to substances when they are heated?
They do something, or have a chemical reaction
What happens to to the average distance between the atoms of the copper when the rod is heated?
The space of the atoms increase!
What happens to the average distance between the atoms of a copper when the rod is heated?
The space of the atoms increase!
What happens to the average distance between the atoms of a copper rod when the rod is heated?
The space of the atoms increase!
What physical change happens to atoms and molecules in a solution that is strongly heated in a flame?
The solvent is vaporized.
What happens to the average distance between the atoms when the copper is heated?
Not entirely sure but I will find out and tell you! :)
Does atoms and molecules of gases and liquids are heated they sink?
after atoms and molecules of gases and liquids are heated, they sink?
Do atoms get hotter when matter is heated?
When a matter is heated then the vibration of atoms increase and hence the kinetic energy increases.
What are your rocks and soil heated by?
Rocks and soil are heated by two things, atoms and molecules. when they get heated they vibrate and sends heat to other atoms or molecules in the same substance until the whole thing is heated. The energy comes from the sun, but the atoms and molecules really heat them.
What happens to water when it is warmed?
when water gets heated it starts to get excited and it stats to boil and there are atoms inside which viabrate and makes the water boil.
What happens to a magnet when heated?
when heated a certain limit of atoms is disturbed because of in creased Brownian motion
What happens to metal when it's heated?
1. Thermal expansion 2. If metals are heated in air some can react with oxygen.
Are the atoms of sulphur heated and the atoms of sulphur as a solid the same?
Yes, atoms of sulfur are identical.
