They vibrate with more energy. Depending on their starting state, they may go from solid to liquid or gas, and from liquid to gas.

What happens to molecules when the temperature of their environment increases"?

When the temperature of their environment increases, molecules move faster and have more energy. This can cause them to vibrate, rotate, or even break apart, leading to changes in their physical state or chemical reactions.


What happens to the gas molecules when the temperature is increased?

When the temperature is increased, the gas molecules gain kinetic energy and move faster. This causes them to collide more frequently with each other and the container walls, resulting in an increase in pressure and volume.


What happens to acetone molecules when you add heat to a beaker of liquid acetone?

When heat is added to a beaker of liquid acetone, the acetone molecules gain kinetic energy and move more rapidly. This increased energy causes the acetone molecules to evaporate and transition to the gas phase. If the temperature is high enough, the acetone molecules may also undergo further reactions, such as decomposition or combustion.


Why does diffusion happens faster in hot water?

Diffusion happens at a faster in hotter temperature of water than a colder temperature of water because the particles with have more kinetic energy, allowing them to move much quicker from high concentration to low.


What happens to molecules when they are cooled down?

When molecules are cooled down, they lose energy and move more slowly, causing them to come closer together and form a solid or liquid state, depending on the temperature.

What happens to the movement of molecules when their temperature is?

As the temperature is lowered, the movement of the molecules decreases.


When there is more kinetic energy what happens to the thermal energy and temperature?

Molecules with a high temperature typically have a greater kinetic energy when compared to those with a lower temperature


When the temperature of an object decreases what happens to the molecules?

In every liquid (with the exception of water) the molecules, when the temperature decreases, contract.


What happens to water molecules as the temperature increases will the molecules move at a faster rate?

Of course, because kinetic energy of molecules is directly proportional to temperature.


What happens to the temperature and the speed of the molecules when gas is compressed?

The temperature and speed remain constant.


When high speed molecules mix and collide with slower speed molecules the high speed molecules do what?

Slow down and the temperature drops.


Diffusion between two gases occurs most rapidly if the gases are at?

high temperature and the molecules are small


What happens to molecules of an object when the temperature rises?

when the temperature rises the molecules of an object collides even more faster and also its moves around faster.


What is the temperature of a molecule with lots of energy?

Individual molecules do not have a temperature. 'Lots' can be any amount.


What is energy from high temperatures?

High temperature speeds up movement in the molecules. This means with higher temperature, there is more energy


What happens when a gas reaches its lowest temperature?

The molecules of the gas will stop moving.


What happens when adiabatic expansion of gas molecules occurs?

The temperature of the gas decrease.
