Why water vapour does have more energy than water at same temperature?

the molecular building is more spaced out than a solid, as instead of being ordered, there are gaps so they are like ... .... where as liquids are only just touching n gasses take up even more space as only when condensed to they touch.

The vapor question is easier: all gases fill more space that the liquid or solid states of their elements or compounds; it's in the nature of a gas to distribute itself throughout the volume that contains it.

Wiki User
∙ 13y agoYes. Among other things, a liquid has pretty much a fixed volume, but a vapor expands to fill the available space.

∙ 12y agoWhen air is heated it expands and water vapour is a gas when water is heated and gas expands when it is heated, therefore water vapour take up more room than the actual amount of water.

How is relative humidity affect by air temperature?
Warmer air is able to hold more water vapour than cooler air. As warm humid air cools, the water vapour condenses out as water droplets.
When you put water in a pan what happens?
Water evaporates at any temperature. Some water molecules have enough energy to leave the surface of the liquid. As the temperature increases more and more molecules have enoughenergy to leave the surface of the liquid. At the boiling point all molecules have enough energy to evaporate. Bubbles of vapour form throughout the liquid (we see these bubbles as proof of boiling).
If the air near the ground has enough moisture and the temperature reaches the dew point then what forms?
fogfog
When a substance is heated it must gain electrons and energy?
Yes, it gains kinetic energy, for instance, when water is heated into water vapours the molecules of water vapour move faster than the molecules of water. This is because the water vapour has more kinetic energy than water.
Which has more energy vapor or solid?
vapour
What conditions in the air favor condensation of water?
saturated air and dewpoint temperature much lower than air temperature
What increases the ability of air to hold water vapor?
A rise in temperature allows the air to absorb more water vapour.
Is relatively humidity affected by temperature?
Warmer air is able to hold more water vapour than cooler air. As warm humid air cools, the water vapour condenses out as water droplets.
Do you breathe in or breathe out more water vapour?
You breathe out more water vapour then when you breathe in
What happens to the energy used to evaporate water?
It goes into the molecules of water vapour, which are more energetic than those of liquid water
Which heat is stored in water vapour?
The heat is stored in water vapour is latent heat.Latent heat describes energy that is not stored as the internal energy (i.e. temperature) of an object but in its phase state.For example, in the atmosphere heat that is transported by an air parcel that contains more water vapor than its surroundings. Because energy is needed to turn water into water vapor, water vapor is a way for a body to store energy (along with potential energy, kinetic energy, and sensible heat). If the water vapor is returned to a liquid or solid phase (by condensation or sublimation), the stored energy is released as sensible heat.
When the ground has enough moisture and the temperature reaches the dew point what happens?
When the temperature comes down to the dew point, the air can support no more water vapour and the dew begins to to form. Air can absorb more water vapour as the temperature rises, so the difference between the dew point and the actual temperature gives a measure of the humidity.

How does water go to the air?
Water turn into a gas called water vapour. The air depending on its temperature will hold a certain amount of this. when the air comes into contact with water if the humidity of the air is such that it can hold more water vapour then the water that is touching the air will turn into the gas water vapour and become part of the air. it will do this at any temperature which explains why you can hang clothes out to drying sub zero temperatures and they dry.
Is condensation formed because energy is added?
Condensation happens when air is cooled below a temperature called its 'dew point' which is the temperature at which the humidity is 100%. Air is capable of absorbing more water vapour when it is hotter. Therefore if warm air with water vapour in it is cooled, the humidity rises, until at the dew point the humidity is 100%. If it is cooled further, some of the water vapour appears as liquid water, which we call condensation. A typical example of condensation is fog, which happens when warm, moist air arrives over cooler ground, and it gives up its water vapour as floating droplets.
