because they do Molecules move firstly due to their own kinetic energy.

On addition of heat energy is now present in the environment for the molecules to use,so they use it.This energy is used as kinetic energy and the molecules can therefore move faster than they normally would.

Once you remove the source of the extra energy from the system the molecules go back to moving in their natural momentum.

Do molecules in water move slower in cold water?

Yes, the less heat there is present, the less heat, the slower the molecules will move. This is due to a lack of energy given from the heat.


Does a molecule move faster as heat is removed?

No, as heat is lost molecules move slower.


Will molecules move slower when you remove heat?

Yes, until the Kelvin temperature reaches 0 (the Celsius reaches -273). That is the point known as absolute zero, where the molecules do not move at all.


When energy is removed from a liquid do the molecules move faster or slower?

I might be wrong, but I would say slower. If you mean energy in form of heat, molecules move slower if the liquid is colder, so if a liquid releases energy in form of heat (turns ¨cooler¨), than the molecules move slower. As I said, I might be wrong. Just my thoughts


How does heat make things dry when the molecules are actually moving faster not slower?

the water molecules move away, e.g. evaporate


Is adding heat to a substance makes it molecules move slower?

No, adding heat to a substance causes its molecules to move faster, not slower. When heat is applied, the energy increases the kinetic energy of the molecules, leading to more vigorous motion. This is why heating a substance can result in changes such as melting or boiling, as the increased molecular movement overcomes intermolecular forces.


Why does water heat slower than heat?

The molecules that compose or make up a solid, such as land, need more energy or in this case heat, to move them. The molecules are compact where as in liquid they have more mobility. When a substance heats, its molecules move faster. Since liquid's molecules have more mobility, liquid heats more quickly.


What the molecules are doing in heat Conduction?

In heat conduction, molecules transfer kinetic energy to neighboring molecules through collisions. As a result, the faster-moving molecules transfer energy to slower-moving molecules, leading to an overall transfer of heat energy through the material. The molecules vibrate and move more rapidly as they gain energy, increasing the temperature of the material.


How do you think molecules move in hot and in cold air?

In hot areas the molecules move quickly and in cold areas the molecules move slower.


Is pressure higher or slower when molecules move faster or slower?

Pressure is higher when molecules move faster because they collide with the walls of the container more frequently and with greater force. Slower-moving molecules result in lower pressure as they collide less frequently and with less force.


When heat is removed from a substance the particles start moving faster?

No, heat makes the particles move faster. If you remove the heat the particles will start moving slower as it cools down.


How heat would change the density of a parcel of air?

An increase in heat would cause the air molecules in the parcel to move faster and spread out, resulting in a decrease in density. Conversely, a decrease in heat would cause the molecules to move slower and come closer together, increasing the density of the air parcel.
