If we look at an ice cube and follow things along until the ice melts and becomes a vapor, we'd find that the molecules of water are continually taking heat (thermal energy) from surroundings. As more and more heat energy is absorbed by the ice, the hydrogen bonds that make ice solid will be breaking. When the ice has melted, there will still be some hydrogen bonds holding the water molecules together, but more heat will break them. Eventually the molecules will capture enough heat that they will escape the liquid to become a vapor. Throughout the process, we will see heat transfer taking place with the ice (and then the water) being on the receiving end.

What would happen to the water cycle if the sun heated the atmosphere evenly?
If the sun heated the atmosphere evenly, the water vapor in the air wouldn't move from 1 place to another.
What happen to the temperature boiling water as it's boil?
When water is boiling, the temperature remains constant, as the energy it is absorbing is being used to change the liquid water into water vapor.
What is the result of very high numbers of vapor particles striking an object at the same time?
Vapor Pressure
How clouds forms?
When the water on earth gets heated by the sun,the water evaporates.Water can evaporate from,lakes,oceans,and rivers.So when the water evaporates it becomes water droplets in the air.Then when the water droplets hit cool air,they cool and become a cloud.That is how clouds are formed.
In which of the three states of matter are the particles close together and moving randomly?
Gas/vapor.
What happens to particles when water is heated?
when water is heated the particles speed up, therefore gaining kinetic energy. the faster the particles move the further apart they become, therefore leading to the possibility of changing state. such as water to water vapor or ice to water.
What would happen to the water cycle if the sun heated the atmosphere evenly?
If the sun heated the atmosphere evenly, the water vapor in the air wouldn't move from 1 place to another.
How do these particles interact with water vapor in the air?
The particles cause water vapor to evaporate
What is Definition of superheated vapor?
superheated vapor is a vapor that has been heated above its boiling point.
Which is fastest ice water or water vapor?
The particles in water vapor are faster than the particles in ice water.
Water that is heated to a gas?
water vapor
What is the name for heated water vapor?
Precipitation
Why does water vapor need solid particles in the atmosphere to form clouds?
Particles are needed because then the water vapor can condense on them
What would happen to a sample of water at 30 degrees c if it is heated until the temperature reaches 120 degrees c?
It would heat to 100 degrees C, and then begin to boil. The water vapor would be at 100C, and would rise away. If you kept the vapor combined, it would pressurize the container.
What is the water that has been heated to a gas?
Water can be heated at 100 degree celsius to give steam which is the gaseous state of water
How do particles interact with water vapor in the air?
["
What is water heated to gas called?
Water heated to a gas is eiher called water vapor or steam.
