What happens to the motion between water molecules when liquid water transforms to solid?

When the motion of liquid water molecules slows down, the water is therefore getting colder, and when it reaches 0o Celsius, it will freeze.

∙ 14y agoFor an "idea" gas there is a special equation that describes what happens when gas particles slow down. PV=NRT Rougly, Pressure times Volume equals Number of "Moles" (an quantity the represents the number of atoms in the gass) times a constant R times the temperature. So if gas particles slow down it means they their tempure (T) has gone down. This means that either the pressure (P) or the volume (V) must go down, or both. You can demonstrate this by putting an inflated balloon in the freeze for awhile. A balloon of the same size left out of the freezer will retain it's size but the chilled balloon will be noticable smaller. This is because the air has gas particles that have slow down, reducing the pressure and therefore shrinking the volume.

So, if he particle decreases its speed, then it will have less energy.
Less energy will make the gas change state, into water.

∙ 10y agoWell it'll slows down and maybe change state of matter
Wiki User
∙ 15y agoWhen molecules slow down, they become cold or even frozen. It is the opposite of when molecules speed up, they become active and hot.
Wiki User
∙ 11y agoMolecules get slowed down by getting so cold that they start to slow down, unlike fast molecules when ever they get hotter they speed up and get hotter.

∙ 12y agoAtoms in the liqiud water move more slowly.

What happens to water molecules as water evaporates?
The hydrogen bonds between the water molecules in the liquid are broken.
What happens when the vacant spaces between the particles of a liquid decreases how can you do this?
you can shrink the spaces within the molecules of liquid by increasing the temperature (freezing it ) or adding pressure.
What happens to the molecules of a liquid when it is cool?
When ice cools it shrinks
What happens to acetone molecules when you add heat to a breaker of liquid acetone?
Acetone molecules evaporate when you add heat to a beaker of liquid acetone.
In steam are the forces between molecules the same as the forces between the molecules in water?
No, they are not. The forces between molecules in steam are not as strong as those present in liquid water.
What happens to the molecules in a solid when it dissolves?
molecules of a solid break up get's into the space that is in between the liquid molecules
What happens when water turns into liquid?
the bonds between the water molecules are broken
What happens in a butterfly pupa?
it transforms into a liquid then slowly becomes a beautiful butterfly.

What happens to a fluid when it heats?
When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules. When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules.
What happens to snow molecules during phase change?
The snow (solid) become water (liquid); the distances between molecules are decreased during the change of phase.
What happens to molecules asa liquid begins to cool off?
The molecules move slower and slower until the attractive interactions between them become greater than their momentum can withstand, at which point the liquid begins to freeze.
What happens to molecules when water is heated from 90 to 110 Celsius?
The liquid molecules are transformed in gas molecules.
What happens to molecules in the outermost layer of ice when you hold it in your hand?
These molecules are transformed in a liquid.
What happens as the molecules in a liquid move around?
the molecules will go slowly around in the glass
What is the difference between the molecules in a hot solid and hot liquid?
The molecules in a solid vibrate in place. The molecules of a liquid are moving about.
