No, ice expands because the molecules are farther apart.

When water molecules are moving closer together in the air is called?

When water molecules are moving closer together in the air, it is called condensation. This process occurs when the water vapor in the air loses heat, causing the molecules to slow down and come together to form liquid water droplets.


Why does water change into a solid when it is heated?

Water changes into a solid, ice, when it is cooled, not heated. This is because the cooling causes the water molecules to slow down and come closer together, forming a rigid structure. This process is called solidification or freezing.


Why does colder water have a higher density than warmer water?

Cold water is denser than warm water because the molecules in cold water are closer together due to lower kinetic energy. This closer packing of molecules results in higher density. When water is heated, the molecules have more kinetic energy, causing them to spread out slightly and decrease the overall density of the water.


What happends to water molecules when they are heated?

When water molecules are heated, they gain energy and start moving faster. This increased movement causes the water molecules to break the hydrogen bonds holding them together, transitioning from a liquid to a gaseous state known as water vapor.


Do molecules spread out when heated?

Yes, ok take a block of ice for an example, when the water is frozen into the ice cube the molecules slow downcget closer and they can't move, when you melt the ice, or it is heated, then the molecules spread out and get faster making it a liquid.

Why are molecules closer when its a solid?

molecules that start closing together turn into solid example: think of water, when molecules are loose the water is liquid but when the molecules are packed together the water turns into ice

Can you give me the characteristics of freezing?

The characteristics of freezing is when water (or any other liquid) turns into a solid. This happens when the liquid gets cold and the molecules get closer together. When the molecules get closer together, they form a solid (ice).

When does water form clouds?

When the air cools, its molecules come closer together. Thus, molecules of water vapor in the air come closer together, too. Then, the molecules of water vapor condense (or turn from gas to liquid state) on tiny solid particles in the atmosphere. The tiny droplets of water result from condensation form the clouds that we see in the sky.


What happened to the water molecules when they are heated?
