How does heat lift objects?
I'm not a physics expert, but this is more or less my understanding of what happens: Heating an object means that the individual atoms that make up the object move around faster. As they move around faster they collide with each other more often and more energetically. This makes the atoms recoil from each other and therefore in general, all the atoms in the obejct end up beign further apart from each other. This makes the object expand. As it exands, it becomes less dense and therefore less heavy. A classic example is a hot air balloon. The air inside the ballon is heated and expands, becomes less dense and therefore lighter than the air outside the balloon eventually resulting in the ballon raising off the ground - esssentially the lighter air inside the balloon floats up through the cold denser / heavier air outside the balloon - same way as a plastic bottle full of air will float in water - air is lighter / less dense than water - hot air is lighter / less dense than cold air.
What does the nuclei of heavy atoms have that light atoms do not have?
Heavy atoms have more protons and neutrons in their nuclei compared to light atoms. This increases the nuclear charge and mass of heavy atoms, making them less stable and more prone to undergo radioactive decay.
What loses electrons when bonding?
Atoms that are less electronegative tend to lose electrons when bonding with atoms that are more electronegative. This is because less electronegative atoms have a lower attraction for electrons, making it easier for them to donate electrons to form a stable bond.
Solids are generally heavy while gases are light explain?
Solids tend to be heavier because they have more atoms in less area (density) and the reason they have more atoms in less area is because they have an atomic attraction between them that is much greater than that of gasses and liquids (liquids have no atomic attraction and gasses tend to repel themselves) Now gasses whose atoms repel against themselves are much more disperse and occupy a lot more space with a lot less mass.

What happens to an object when it is placed in a less dense liquid or gas?
When an object is placed in a less dense liquid or gas, it will experience a buoyant force acting against gravity. If the object's density is greater than that of the surrounding medium, it will sink; if the object's density is less, it will float. The object will displace a volume of the medium equal to its own volume.
What is more dense a cold object or a hot object?
A cold object is usually more dense than a hot object because colder temperatures cause particles to move less and come closer together, increasing the object's density. Conversely, in a hot object, particles move faster and spread out, decreasing its density.
Is the mass of an object more less when it is hot?
It would stay the same unless some atoms escaped.
How does temperature increase or decrease?
Temperature is the average Kinetic energy of molecules in an object. A hot object has more kinetic energy and a cold object has less kinetic energy.
Do particles in a cold object have little thermal energy and move slowly?
Yes, particles in a cold object have less thermal energy than in a hot object, so they move more slowly. This slower movement contributes to the lower temperature of the object.
What do dinosaurs have in common with atoms?
Dinosaurs were made up of atoms. Every single object is made up of atoms only. Incidentally most of the animals have same atom in their body. They are there in more or less quantity.
What is an atoms reaction to cold temperatures?
In cold temperatures, atoms move more slowly and their kinetic energy decreases, causing them to come closer together and form a solid if cold enough. This is because there is less thermal energy available to keep the atoms moving and apart from each other.
Do hot objects produce more or less infrared radiation than cold ones?
Hot objects produce more infrared radiation than cold ones. This is because the intensity of infrared radiation increases with temperature due to the higher energy levels of the atoms or molecules in the hot object, resulting in more thermal radiation being emitted.
How does heating affect an object?
The hotter an object is, the more vigorously its atoms or molecules vibrate, and in doing so generally they take up more space (the object expands). This implies that a hot object is less dense than when it is cooler (because of its volume increase)
How does the temperature affect the elasticity of an object?
Temperature affects the elasticity of an object by changing the vibration of its atoms or molecules. As temperature increases, the atoms or molecules have more energy and vibrate more, causing the material to become less elastic. Conversely, at low temperatures, the material becomes more rigid and its elasticity increases.
What does cold water have in it?
Water has the same components at any temperature, hot to cold. The reason cold water is cold is because it has less heat (the atoms of water are moving more slowly than at higher temperatures). the colder the water is, the slower its atoms are moving. So, the difference is heat, not what's in it (its composition).
What makes an object hot or cold?
An object is hot or cold based on its temperature, which is a measure of the average kinetic energy of its particles. When particles move faster, they generate more heat, making the object feel hot. Conversely, when particles move slower, less heat is produced, causing the object to feel cold.
Which has higher density cold air or warm air?
The cold air is denser, because the cold atoms are thicker, denser, and have more mass. Warm atoms are less dense and move more, therefore creating heat.
