Yes, it gains kinetic energy, for instance, when water is heated into water vapours the molecules of water vapour move faster than the molecules of water. This is because the water vapour has more kinetic energy than water.

Is it true electrons gain energy as they move down the chain?
No. Electrons gain energy as they move up the chain, i.e. in more outer shells.
Oxidation involves the gain of electrons for a substance. true or false?
False
What happens to thermal energy during the process of conduction?
conduction occurs when a substance is heated, particles will gain more energy and vibrate more. These molecules then bump into nearby particles and transfer some of their energy to them. This then continues and passes the energy from the hot end down to the colder end of the substance. argo the thermal energy is represented as an increasing variation from base levels of vibration.
What causes the particles of a substance to evaporate?
The paticles gain energy.
When elements gain three electrons to fill its valence energy level?
When these elements have five electrons on the outermost shell of electrons.
How do elements gain or lose electrons?
By abstracting electrons from or donating electrons to some other chemical substance.
When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
Is it true electrons gain energy as they move down the chain?
No. Electrons gain energy as they move up the chain, i.e. in more outer shells.
Does matter gain energy and evaporates when it is heated?
Matter gains energy when it is heated due to a thermal transfer. It does not always evaporate when heated as this varies based on the specific material being heated.
Can electrons change energy level?
yes, electrons may change energy levels through a gain or loss of energy.
How can you can increase or decrease the energy possessed by electrons?
Electrons can absorb photons and gain energy, and they can emit photons and lose energy.
Do atoms lose and gain electrons when a new substance is forming?
Some atoms lose electrons, some gain electrons, and some share electrons depending on what elements are involved and what compound is forming.
Does a substance gain energy when it freezes?
Lose
Oxidation involves the gain of electrons for a substance. true or false?
False
When sunlight excited electrons in chlorophyll how do the electrons change?
the electrons gain a huge amount of energy
How does a substance gain thermal energy?
substances can gain thermal energy by heating them or applying electric shocks
How do electrons gain energy in photosystem I?
They absorb photons.
