Which state of matter has the least molecular motion?
The solid state has the least molecular motion.
How molecular motion changes as a substance changes from one state to another?
Molecular motion is less constrained in liquid than in solid and is less constrained in gas than in liquid.
The tendency of the molecules of a liquid at a given tepmpature to evaporate as a result of radom molecular motion?
diffusion
What is the definition of a Convection cell?
The transfer of heat through a fluid (liquid or gas) caused by molecular motion.
What changes would occur at a molecular level if a liquid is placed in cool conditions?
the motion of the molecules would slow down
Molecular motion of a gas?
Solid particles vibrate while locked in place. As they receive more energy, particles speed increases. Once the particles have enough energy they break apart and slide past each other as a liquid. The particles speed continues to increase as energy is added. Finally, they gain enough energy to break free and move independently as a gas.
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids?
The direct transfer of molecular motion through solids is called conduction
What happens to the solubility of a gas in a liquid if the temperature goes up?
The solubility of a gas in a liquid typically increases as the temperature goes up. This happens because the molecular motion speeds up to aid the reaction.
What give molecules energy that causes them to vibrate faster breaking their bonds and melting?
Heat energy is the stimulation of molecular motion. Anything that adds energy to a substance can increase its temperature, eventually causing molecular decomposition or a change in the phase of its elements (solid to liquid, liquid to gas, gas to plasma).
What is the term for mixing gases or liquid molecules by random molecular motion?
Gases and liquids are called fluids.Due to the kinetic energy of the atoms/molecules of the fluids they vibrate hence result in a contant mixing or motion of the molecules. Experiments which prove the motion-Brownian motion,Smoke cell
Describe the molecular distance and motion in the three states of matter?
Molecular distance is the furthest and the motion is the fastest in gases. Molecular distance is closer and have much slower motion in liquids. Molecular distance is closest and the molecules move very very slowly (kind of just shake) in solids.
When a substace is heated how does the molecular motion change?
The average speed of the random molecular motion increases. The corresponding increase in molecular kinetic energy accounts for what happened to all of that heat energy.
