When does the surface particles of a soild gain enough energy to become a gas?
The surface particles of a solid gain enough energy to become a gas when they reach a temperature called the substance's "boiling point." At this temperature, the intermolecular forces holding the particles together are overcome, allowing the particles to break free and enter the gas phase.
What is Liquid to gas at boiling point called?
The process of a liquid turning into a gas at its boiling point is called vaporization. At this point, the substance absorbs enough heat to overcome the attractive forces between its particles and transitions to the gaseous state.
Is it true that at its boiling temperature the particles of a liquid are moving so slowly that they begin to form regular patterns?
No, at the boiling point of a liquid, the particles are moving rapidly enough to overcome the forces that hold them together in a liquid state. This allows the particles to break free from one another and escape as a gas. Regular patterns in particles are more commonly associated with solid states at lower temperatures.
What is a continuous mark made on some surface by a moving point called?
A continuous mark made on a surface by a moving point is called a line.
What is the region of spread out particles in a wave called?
The region of spread out particles in a wave is called the trough. This is where the particles are at their lowest point of displacement from their equilibrium position.
Is vaporization that occurs when particles on the surface of a liquid escape the liquid even when the liquid is below its boiling point?
Yes, that is correct. Vaporization occurs when particles at the surface of a liquid gain enough energy to escape into the gas phase, even if the liquid is below its boiling point. This process is called evaporation.
What point does it become a liquid?
The boiling point of a substance is the point at which that substance will change between being a gas and a liquid. For example, the boiling point of water is 100oC, so water vapour will change to water at this temperature. The boiling point of Methane is -161oC, so any temperature above this, Methane will be in gas form.
What is it called when you cause a solid to pass into a liquid?
This process is called melting. It occurs when a solid is heated to its melting point, at which the particles gain enough energy to overcome their attractions and transition into a liquid state.
What are moving electrons called?
Moving electrons or other charged carriers is called electricity. The amount of electrical pressure pushing the electrons is called the voltage. The number of electrons moving past some point in a given time is called the current. Electrons are subatomic particles (smaller than atoms) called leptons.
What is the point where particles in a medium stay when there are no disturbances?
The point where particles in a medium stay when there are no disturbances is called the equilibrium position. At this point, the particles are at rest and do not experience any displacement. When a disturbance occurs, the particles oscillate around their equilibrium position.
If the particles of a liquid are always moving why dont they all come apart from each other and become gas?
Because they don't have enough energy to make the phase shift from liquid to gas. They don't have enough energy to break their INTERmolecular bonds enough to become a gas. They move around in what are called random walks and vibrate, just bumping into each other occasionally like you would people in a crowd. They don't have the energy to stat pushing and shoving violently enough to make the crowd separate far apart like you'd see in a mosh pit. Move space exists in a mosh pit than in a gentl crowd.
Moving in a circular path around a central point is called?
Circling around a central point is called orbiting.
