Water is made up of three atoms: 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen.
These atoms are arranged so to make a sort of 'Mickey Mouse' shape; the 2 hydrogens being the ears.
Due to this shape, the liquid makeup of water, which has free moving molecules, becomes more space efficient than the rigid and ordered structure of the solid, ice, makeup which is formed when water loses energy.
If freezing does not occur, then an unrestrained volume of water will expand when it gains energy, rather than when losing energy.
What else can I help you with?
Why does water with particles do not lose energy fast?
With clean water energy is stored but dirty water keeps energy but loses it in the end
What happens to the particles when water vapour changes into water?
the particle loses the energy and it goes into surrounding environment
Why does th volume expand when water boils?
The particles of water move about faster because they have more energy. This action overcomes the electrostatic attraction slightly more than before spreading the particles out making the water expand.
In which of the process speed of particles decreases?
The speed of particles decreases during the process of cooling or condensation. As a substance loses heat energy, the kinetic energy of its particles decreases, leading to slower movement. This is often observed when a gas cools and transitions into a liquid state, such as water vapor condensing into liquid water.
When water vapor loses energy what phase change occurs?
When water vapor loses energy it "turns" into a liquid
Solid liquid or gas expand the most when heated?
Gases expand the most when heated compared to solids and liquids. This is because the particles in a gas have more kinetic energy and move more freely than particles in a solid or liquid, allowing for greater expansion when heated.
Why does flowing water deposit the largest particles first?
Flowing water deposits the largest particles first due to their weight and the energy of the flow. Heavier particles require more force to be lifted and transported, so when the water’s velocity decreases, these larger sediments settle out of the flow before smaller particles. This process is known as sedimentation, where particle size and water velocity play crucial roles in determining the order of deposition. As water slows down, it loses the energy needed to carry larger particles, leading to their deposition first.
Which has the most energy particles in steam particles in liquid water particles in ice or particles in freezing water?
Steam has the most energy as its particles are in the gaseous state and move faster than particles in liquid water or ice, which are in the solid or liquid state respectively. Freezing water has a similar amount of energy as liquid water since they are at the same temperature.
Does water expand faster than air?
No, air expands faster than water because gases have more freedom of movement between particles compared to liquids. This means that air particles can spread apart more quickly than water particles when heated.
What things expand when hot?
Materials such as metal, gas, and liquids expand when heated. This is due to the increase in kinetic energy of the particles, causing them to move faster and spread out, leading to expansion. Water also expands when heated, which is why it is recommended not to heat water in a closed container.
Using water as an example explain the changes of state that are possible (include the energy transfer particle movement and par?
Water can undergo several changes of state: evaporation, condensation, freezing, and melting. During evaporation, liquid water gains energy, causing its particles to move faster and escape into the air as vapor. In condensation, water vapor loses energy, allowing particles to slow down and come together to form liquid water. Freezing occurs when liquid water loses heat, leading to slower particle movement and the formation of solid ice, while melting is the reverse process where ice absorbs energy and transitions back to liquid water.
When water vapor loses energy may into a liquid?
