Because liquids are harder to push out of the way than air.

How do molecules move during a phase change in a liquid to gas?

They move slower because in a solid the molecule move faster and in a gas they move slower, therefore, they will move slower. :)


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 the arrangement and movement of particles change as a substance changes from a liquid to a gas and solid to a liquid?

From a liquid to a gas, the particles become more spread out and move slower. From a solid to a liquid, the particles also become more spread out and move slower.


Do particles in a liquid move faster or slower when the temperature increases?

faster


Do the particles in solid ice move slower than the particles in liquid?

Yes. The colder the substance become, the slower the particles move. Actually in pure ice the particles do not move at all.


How does liquid become gas?

When gas cools down it becomes a liquid. (The less thermal energy the slower the molecules move)


Do forces in a solid keep the particles from moving?

no it does not but the particles move slower then it would if it is a liquid, or a gas.


What happens to molecules asa liquid begins to cool off?

The molecules move slower and slower until the attractive interactions between them become greater than their momentum can withstand, at which point the liquid begins to freeze.


What is the movement of the particles of liquid?

gliding movement. The particles move faster then that of a solid, but slower than that of a gas.


What happens when you remove heat from particles?

Then the particles would normally move slower. However, they can also lose energy in other ways; for example, when a liquid turns solid.Then the particles would normally move slower.

Do particles in sold ice move slower than particles in liquid water?

Yes. The colder the substance become, the slower the particles move. Actually in pure ice the particles do not move at all.


Do particles move faster in a gas or liquid?

Particles generally move faster in a gas compared to a liquid. In a gas, particles have more energy and move more freely and quickly as they are not as tightly packed as in a liquid. Conversely, in a liquid, particles are closer together and interact more, resulting in slower movement.
