How is the temperature of a substance related to attraction between molecules and its states?
Lichen08
Gases have the most kinetic energy and the least attraction exists between its molecules. Liquids have the middle amount of kinetic energy and middle attraction. Solids have the least kinetic energy and most attraction exists between its particles.
The answer above isn't totally accurate, although it is mostly right. However, the attraction between molecules DOES NOT CHANGE WITH TEMPERATURE. What changes is how much energy the atoms/molecules have to overcome that attraction. The higher the temperature, the more energy the molecules have, and therefore the less the attractive force between will actually pull them together.
As an example, consider a space rocket. The force of gravity on the rocket is constant. However, when the rocket is launched, the rocket's engines overcome the attractive force of gravity (by accelerating in the opposite direction) and therefore the rocket takes off. The attractive force doesn't change -- but the rocket's engines are more powerful than that attraction. In the same way, the increased temperature doesn't change the attraction, but it allows the molecules to overcome it.
Other example. Image you are rolling down a hill on a bicycle. In the middle of the downhill, there is a rise. Because you have speed from going downhill, this slight uphill section doesn't stop you. However, the slight uphill is still there! It just doesn't stop you because you are already going fast. But it still affects you.

The attraction between water molecules is the result of water?
The attraction is: A POLAR COVALENT BOND
What is a relatively weak bond between polar molecules?
A polar molecule is positive on one end and negative on the opposite end. A hydrogen bond is a special attraction between polar molecules, a weak bond.
What is the attraction between substances of the same kind?
The attraction between substances of the same kind is called cohesive attraction or cohesive force. It is the property of similar molecules to stick together.
Difference between adhesion and cohesion?
Adhesion is the intermolecular attraction between 'unlike-molecules' (usually referred to the attraction or joining of two different objects of fluids to each other).Cohesion is the intermolecular attraction between 'like-molecules' (usually referred to the strength with which the particles of an object of fluid attract to each other)
When slight attractions that develop between oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules are called?
When molecules are close together, a slight attraction can develop between the oppositely charged regions of nearby molecules. Chemists call such intermolecular forces of attraction van der Waals forces. (This also occurs in the phenomenon known as Hydrogen-bonding.) What is the alternate of a slight attraction - it is called the covalent bond. Note that an ionic bond is a type of covalent bond.
What is an attraction between molecules of the same substance and why?
Cohesion is the force of attraction between molecules of the same substance which binds the particles together.
The stronger the intermolecular forces in a substance?
The stronger the forces the stronger the attraction between the molecules in the substance. This will tend to increase the temperature of phase changes, melting and boiling points.
Attraction of molecules of the same substance?
iam vipin das from kerala.................................................. i think the force of attraction between same substance is more power than force of attraction between different substance ,i prooves this based on some experiments here the newtons law of gravitation is falsifyed, for more details condact me 9947410345
What is the definition of cohesion force?
Cohesive force is the force of attraction between molecules of the same kind or of the same substance. Eg. cohesive force of attraction exists between water molecules
The attraction forces between gas molecules lead to?
The attraction forces between gas molecules are very small,but it could be increased by applying high preesure and low temperature. Thus it could be concluded that attraction between gas molecules leads to its liquifaction.
How do cohesion and adhesion differ?
Cohesion and adhesion differ because cohesion is an attraction between molecules of the same substance. Adhesion is an attraction between molecules of different substances.Adhesion is the intermolecular attraction between 'unlike-molecules' (usually referred to the attraction or joining of two different objects of fluids to each other).Cohesion is the intermolecular attraction between 'like-molecules' (usually referred to the strength with which the particles of an object of fluid attract to each other).== == == ==
Do in freezing point the molecules of a substance in motion?
the force of attraction between its molecules becomes strong enough to overcome the energy of motion that its molecules have when the substance is in its liquid state, molecules are locked into rigid crystalline formations.
Attraction between molecules of the same substance is called what?
It is intermolecular force of attraction, it may be 1- dipole - dipole interaction, 2- vander waal's force of attraction.
What is a attraction between molecules of the same substance?
This is called an intermolecular force. It may be a van der Waals force, dipole-dipole attraction or a hydrogen bond.
What is an attraction between particles of the same substance called?
An attraction between particles of the SAME substance is called cohesion.
What is a attraction between molecules of different substances?
Adhesive forces are the attraction between molecules of different substances. This differs from cohesive forces which is attraction between same substances.
Why is E-stilbene solid and Z-stilbene liquid?
The attractive forces between the molecules in E-stilbene must be stronger than the attractive forces holding Z-stilbene together. The degree of attraction between molecules in a substance always accounts for its state of matter at a given temperature.
