Best Answer

Kinetic Theory says that molecular speed is a function of temperature. That is:

Kinetic Energy = .5*m*v^2 = 1.5*k*T

where k is the Boltzmann Constant=1.38E-23 Joules/Kelvin

The answer above may be true but how ever does not answer the question the answer is Molecules move faster when it is warm and when it is cool the Molecules move slower!!!!!!!

When energy is converted to molecules and they move faster does temperature increase or decrease?

As molecules move faster, they cause friction, which increases the temperature of the molecules.

Do molicules move faster in a solid or in a liquid?

In liquid molecules move faster but in solid the molecules would vibrate about its mean position


Which molecules move faster in paper chromatography?

The property of solvent determines the rate of migration of solute i.e., if the solvent is nonpolar, nonpolar molecules will move faster and if the solvent is polar, than polar molecules will move faster during separation.

A. air temperature rises and air molecules move faster


What happens to water molecules when they are heated?

Like all molecules, a molecule of H20 is in constant motion; 'hot' molecules move faster than 'cold' molecules. If the molecules move slowly enough the substance appears stationary to us (frozen water) and if they move quickly enough they will expand to fill their container (vapor or gas water.)

Do molecules move faster when heat increases?

Atoms comprising a molecule move faster as heat increases.


Can the atoms and molecules in matter move faster at higher temperature?

yes atoms and molecules do move faster at higher temperatures, at higher temperatures the atoma and molecules absorb more kinetic energy


What happens to a fluid when it heats?

When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules. When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules.
