For any given substance which state has the most thermal energy?
gas because the molecules are further apart and can move more easily.
In what state of matter transition do water molecules move the least?
In what state of matter transition do water molecules move the least?
What happens to molecules when a substance evaporates?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
Why is the density of a substance in a gaseous state much less than its density in liquid or solid state?
Because the atoms or molecules in a gas are several orders of magnitude further apart than they are in a liquid or solid.
Which state of matter do the molecules move the slowest?
solid state
What state of matter has molecules that are the furthest apart?
Gaseous.
How does gas become liquid when heat is removed?
The states of matter all have to do with the distance between the molecules. In the gas state, the molecules are very far apart. The heat causes them to move faster, making them move further apart creating the gas state. When you remove the heat, the molecules slow down, bringing them closer together into a liquid state. If you cool them further, they will reach a solid state.
Which state of matter is characterized by having molecules far apart and moving randomly?
The state of matter in which molecules are generally far apart and moving randomly is known as the gaseous state. Steam is an example of a gas.
For any given substance which state has the most thermal energy?
gas because the molecules are further apart and can move more easily.
In what matter phase are the molecules far apart and move quickly?
In a gas, molecules are relatively far apart and have the energy to move quickly.
What happens to water when it changes state from a solid to a liquid?
You remove energy from it's solid state; then it returns to a liquid. The H20 molecules move further apart when you go from a solid to a liquid (and even further when it goes to a gas)
In what state of matter transition do water molecules move the least?
In what state of matter transition do water molecules move the least?
Are gas molecules further apart than solid molecules and liquid molecules?
Generally, the molecules in gases are further apart than molecules of the same substance in either liquid or solid state. However, note the existence of a critical temperature for each substance. Above the critical temperature, no liquid or solid phase can exist, but it would be theoretically possible to compress a supercritical substance so that it would have closer molecules than some liquid form of the same substance.
Is evaporation of gasoline a example of physical change?
All changes of state are physical changes. Nothing happens to the molecules of gasoline when it evaporates, they just get further apart.
What happens to molecules when a substance evaporates?
When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase and some molecules at the surface can escape in the atmosphere.
State of matter in which atoms or molecules can move but remain close?
This state of matter is the liquid.
Which state of matter do the molecules move the slowest?
solid state
