Heated particles are not actually lighter. What happens is that heated particles require more area. This increase in area is observed as an increase in volume. This reduces the number of particle in a given space. This means that the heated air is less dense. Due to buoyancy, things that are less dense "float" on top of denser things. This is why a hot air balloon rises.

density of heated gas is lower than cooled gas.

Does liquid change into a gas when neon and argon gas are heated?
Yes, although technically the answer is allowed to become less cold.
Mercury can vaporize if heated This means that with enough heat mercury can?
be changed into a gas
Why does the liquid in a butane lighter become gas after being released?
It's the pressure in the lighter that keeps the butane liquid. When released into the atmosphere, under room pressure and temperature, returns to it's state of gas.
How does gas affected when air is heated?
If the question is "How IS gas affected when it is heated":When gas is heated, it's volume increases (it expands).If the gas is contained within a chamber, the pressure will increase instead.
What happens to the density of a fluid when it is heated?
When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules. When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules.
Why heated gas become lighter?
because..................................................................................................................... density of heated gas is lower than cooled gas.
What does heated liquid and gas become?
A heated liquid become a gas at the boiling point.
Do you become lighter when you fart?
no it just releases gas
What does a liquid become when you heat it and it changes its phase?
A heated liquid will become a gas.
When can water become gas and a solid?
If heated above boiling point become gas! (100celcius) If freezed below melting point become solid (0 celcius)
How solids change into gases?
They have be heated to liquid form first, and from that they must be heated more to be able to evaporate into the air and become a gas.
Does liquid change into a gas when neon and argon gas are heated?
Yes, although technically the answer is allowed to become less cold.
Mercury can vaporize if heated This means that with enough heat mercury can?
be changed into a gas
What happens to gas in a balloon when that gas is heated?
The gas will expand as it is heated.
Why does heated gases became lighter?
Higher temperature results to higher kinetic energy in gas molecules. The gas with more speed would bounce each other a further distance and thus the expansion of gas.
What does a solid heat up and become?
A solid, when sufficiently heated, can either become a liquid (melting) or can be converted directly into a gas (sublimation).
Why does a bar of soap float when its heated and please explain more throughly?
that's easy, molecules become very active when its heated so.... when a heated the molecules expand allowing the soap to seem more denser which makes it lighter and able to float
