The random motion and collision of molecules in solution is called what?

All matter is composed of atoms or molecules that have energy of motion also known as?

What we normally call heat or thermal energy.


What would happen if the temperature of liquids was reduced in motion of the molecules?

As the temperature is reduced, the motion of the molecules is also reduced.


Describe how molecules move in fluid?

Molecules, due to constant thermal motion, enables them to move from one region to another with a velocity that depends on their mass, shape, the temperature and viscosity of the medium. Brownian motion is also a factor - this is where the bombardment of the molecules are taken into consideration (colliding with one another).


Is thermal energy kinetic or potential?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, KE=mv2/2.Thermal energy is different from kinetic energy.Thermal energy is associated with the temperature of a body, the heat gained by increasing the temperature. That heat gives molecules more kinetic energy and more potential energy and may also give molecules more more electronic energy.


Why does strong repulsion between molecules not represent an ideal gas behavior?

The ideal gas laws are based on a model in which the ideal gas is composed of molecules which neither attract nor repel each other. The pressure that the ideal gas exerts on its container is simply the result of the random thermal motion of the molecules and the continual collisions which result from that random thermal motion. If the molecules also repelled each other, then they would produce a gas with even higher pressure, and the pressure would also increase more rapidly, if the gas was compressed, than it does in the absence of such repulsion. The observed behavior of real gases is much closer to that of an ideal gas that does not include repulsion between molecules. No such repulsion has been observed.


How does kinetic potential and thermal energy relate?

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, KE=mv2/2.Thermal energy is different from kinetic energy.Thermal energy is associated with the temperature of a body, the heat gained by increasing the temperature. That heat gives molecules more kinetic energy and more potential energy and may also give molecules more more electronic energy.


What law states all matter is made of small particles that are in motion?

I think you may be talking about the Kinetic theory of Molecules, which relates the temperature of matter (relative to absolute zero) to the average velocity of the molecules which make it up. For gases, it could be the Ideal Gas Law, which assumes that the gas is small particles whizzing around. You also may be thinking of Brownian Motion, which is not a law, but a phenomenon where extremely tiny particles can be observed to be buffeted by other random motion of molecules and particles.

Transfer of thermal energy by molecules bumping into each other?

The thermal energy of a molecule is also its kinetic energy, so KE1i + KE2i = KE1f + KE2f. (1 and 2 = molecules; i and f = initial and final energies).
