When water boils some of its molecules have enough what to overcome the attraction of neighboring molecules?
kinetic energy
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.
How would greenhouse gases retain energy in the atmosphere?
Greenhouse Gases (water, carbon dioxide, methane, SF6 etc.) are made up of at least two molecules. The bond size between the atoms in the molecules is such that it can absorb heat more easily than other molecules. When solar energy comes to the atmosphere they absorb the solar energy as heat then radiate it to other atmospheric (non-greenhouse) gases such as nitrogen and oxygen..
Water stores energy by?
Water stores energy by dissolving polar molecules, retaining heat, adhesion and cohesion. Energy that is stored by water is called kinetic energy.
How does water in a saucepan get hot?
Energy in the form of heat is transferred from the atoms in the saucepan to the water molecules.
When water evaporates what happens to the molecules?
When the heat is added to water, the atoms in the water particle get enough energy, they end up being so poweful, they are able to pull away from other atoms and bounce around. It's sort of like heating water, the water is getting boiled and the water turns to steam. When energy/heat is taken away from the gas form, the steam turns back into a water form. To make it simple, The molecules get energy from heat.
What causes puddles to evaporate?
Heat energy from the sun and the ground cause puddles to evaporate. The heat energy breaks the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules and when the water molecules are heated to a high enough temperature, they will leave the puddle, forming water vapor.
When water changes from a liquid to a gas heat and energy do what?
When water changes from a liquid to a gas, it is evaporating or boiling. The "heat and energy" of the water molecules increases in the gaseous state. In fact, water molecules must pick up energy to change state from a liquid to a gas. Water molecules that are free to move as a gas have more kinetic energy than water molecules in a liquid form (as long as the liquid is not pressurized). The "heat and energy" of the H2O molecules that are now a gas is higher than that of liquid water.It should be noted that the thermal energy (heat) necessary to cause water to change state and become a liquid must come from somewhere. In evaporation, the energy necessary for the water molecule to escape from the liquid comes from the liquid. The liquid cools. We know that if we wet our finger and blow on it, it feels cool because evaporating water cools liquid water from which it escapes. That evaporating water has taken energy from the liquid water.In the case of boiling, water molecules take energy from liquid water, but the liquid water might not be cooling. It probably isn't as that liquid water is having thermal energy (heat) pumped into it by a heat source of some kind. Turn on a burner or element on the range under a pan of water and the water will begin warming until it's boiling. As water boils off, it is taking thermal (heat) energy with it, but the remaining water doesn't cool down as the heat source continues to add more thermal energy.
Why energy is needed to melt ice and how this is explained by the structure of ice and water?
Think about how ice melts into water. By adding heat! Heat is a form of energy, and by adding heat, we can change ice to water. This is explained well by the structures of ice and water. Ice is a solid, and its molecules form rigid networks with space between molecules and are not easily broken. Water is a liquid, and its molecules are constantly moving around one another, leaving little space between molecules. Therefore, when heat energy is added to ice, the rigid bonds between molecules in the ice break, and they are free to move like a liquid.
How does that heat travel the stove to the water in the kettle?
Energy in the form of rapidly moving molecules that are transferred to the kettle, which transfers to the water itself. The heat is caused by the friction of the molecules caused by the heating source.
The kinetic energy of the particles in the liquid state is more than in the solid state comment?
If you freeze water you are removing a particle's kinetic energy from the system that is in the form of heat energy. So as you heat up ice you are giving the water molecules more thermal kinetic energy so it transitions to water. If you keep pumping in heat (energy) these molecules will eventually have so much energy it will vaporize and turn to steam.
How does heat energy affect the movement of particles?
If you take a vessel full of water and heat it with the spirit lamp you will find that when the heat energy is continuously transferred the molecules in the vessel gets the energy as a result they move in a faster rate. The transfer of heat energy to any molecules increases its kinetic energy.
