What is the average kinetic energy of all atoms and molecules that make up a substance called?

Temperature, which is the average kinetic energy of all the particles that make up a substance. :0temperature


What is a Diffusion?

Movement of molecules of a substance from its higher concentration towards its lower concentration by their own kinetic energy is called diffusion.


What happens to kinetic energy of the particles of a substance as the substance changes from a liquid to a gas?

The faster the molecules of a substance are moving, the warmer that substance is, because temperature is really a measurement of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance or object. For a substance to evaporate, or change from a liquid to a gas, it has to become warmer. That means that the kinetic energy of the molecules increases.


What is the process of turning water into a vapor?

Vapor is one of the 3 usual states of matter. When the ave. kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance reach a certain point (different for all matter) the bonds holding the molecules together break apart. Such can occur when a substance is heated, for example. Those molecules that break away and leave the liquid state are regarded as vapor. If the substance is liquid water......the vapor is called water vapor.


Temperature is defined as the average amount of kinetic energy in a substance or a system?

Also called the Kelvin Tempurature Scale, (The measure of average Molecular Motion) occurs within the kenetic energy of a substance

What is the average amount energy of motion in the particles of a substance called?

A measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a substance or object is simply it's Temperature! Hope that helps.


What is he freedom of movement in molecules in a substance called?

The kinetic theory of molecules gives the idea about the movement and the behavior of the molecules in any different phase. The chemical reactivity of a particular molecule can be identified on the basis of kinetic theory of molecules. The phase of molecules changes and so changes it entropy ( movement of molecule in available space)


Why is there a difference between the heat of materials?

The amount of Heat that a substance contains is in direct relation to its Kinetic Energy. Kinetic energy is also called the energy of Motion. The hotter a substance, the more is its kinetic energy and thusly, the faster is the speed of motion of individual particles (either atoms or molecules) that make up , or comprise, the substance. Burns occur by the too rapid transfer of this kinetic / heat energy.


The energy a substance has from the movement of its particle is called?

Kinetic


When the energy is released by a substance it is called?

Kinetic energy


What is the average kinetic energy molecules in an object called?

What is the measure of the average kinetic energy in air?

The measurement of average kinetic energy of a substance is called its temperature.


Why will methylene blue stain from the lab not dye a wool sweater?

A coloured substance can only act as a dye if its molecules can stick to the molecules of the material. This is called mordancy, and depends on the chemical groups present on the molecules of the coloured substance and on the molecules of the material. Think of it as a lock and a key, the key has to be the right shape to fit into the lock.
