When a substance is heated, the extra energy makes the atoms and molecules in the substance vibrate faster and, in liquids and gases, move faster. A measure of the average velocity of such movement is called temperature. The effect of this increased movement is to change the structure of the substance. The regular order of the atoms or molecules of a solid breaks down to form a liquid - this is called melting. Further heating makes the atoms or molecules move so fast that the interactive forces between them are overcome, and they become gases - in which the atoms or molecules are free to move throughout their enclosing volume. This is called boiling or evaporation.

Do Solids usually conduct heat better then liquids and gases?
Solids do conduct heat better than gases, although not necessarily better than liquids. Some solids are actually composite materials, because they can have a porous structure which contains gas within the solid, and this results in solids that do not conduct heat very well. But it is the gas component which has this insulating property.
What happens when heat is added to gas in a sealed container?
The particles of gas speed up.
When gases lose heat they into liquids?
When gasses lose heat they condense into liquids.
What is the difference between boiling and effervescence?
Boiling happens when you heat a liquid, until it evaporates. Effervscense is some gas that escapes, due to some chemical reaction - but not necessarily due to heat.Boiling happens when you heat a liquid, until it evaporates.

What does adding heat to matter cause the atoms to do?
Heating up matter makes the space between atoms expand, and the atoms then gain energy and move faster. Solids will change to liquids, and liquids to gas.
What happens to solid liquids and gases when they are heated?
Solids ---heat---> Liquids ---more heat---> gases
What happens to liquids when enough heat is removed?
These liquids are freezed.
What happens to liquids when are heated?
they turn into gas
What happens to solids liquids or gases when they absorbs or release heat?
They change phase. For example, upon absorbing heat, a solid can become liquid, and a liquid and become a gas. Vice versa when releasing heat.
Movement of heat in a liquid or gas?
The movement of heat in gases and liquids are called convection.
What happens to gases when they lose heat Do they condense into liquids?
Depends on how much heat they loose and which gas (or mixture of gasses) they are. But yes, cool most gasses enough and they liquify (and then solidify if cold enough).
Heat can be moved through liquid and gas by what?
Heat can travel by conduction, convection and radiation in liquids and gases.

What happens to some liquids like melted butter when heat is taken away?
they resolidify
What is Evaporation for kids?
Evaporation is when a liquid turns into a gas. It can happen when liquids are cold or when they are warm. It happens more often with warmer liquids.
What happens when you heat a liquid it becomes a?
When you heat a liquid it becomes a gas
How are liquids converted to gases?
Liquids are converted to gases when liquids are heat up to there boiling point. The heat makes the molecuels ponce back and fourth against the contaner intill it turns into steam. And steam is GAS!! Hope this helped, 12gman=)
