On the molecular level, water molecules move more or less randomly, driven mostly by entropy. On the cellular level, water follows solute concentration. This is the basis of osmosis and diffusion.

What happens to water molecules when they are heated?

Like all molecules, a molecule of H20 is in constant motion; 'hot' molecules move faster than 'cold' molecules. If the molecules move slowly enough the substance appears stationary to us (frozen water) and if they move quickly enough they will expand to fill their container (vapor or gas water.)


Do hot and cold water molecules move at the same speed?

Hot water molecules move a lot faster han cold water molecules because they have a higher kinetic energy due to the heat.
