The particles' movements slow down. Particles (or atoms) contain energy; the more energy the particles have, the more the particles move. However, there is a certain level of energy at which the bonds between the particles break; this energy is called bond energy. For example, take a boiling pot of water. At the atomic level view, heat is equal to energy; the heat is transferred from the flame to the H2O molecules, giving them more energy and making them move faster. The the H2O molecules break apart, turning to hydrogen and oxygen gas. In an ice cube, the heat/energy is taken from the H2O molecules, slowing them down and creating a packed solid.

What has bigger particles suspensions or solutions?

Suspensions have bigger particles compared to solutions. In suspensions, the particles are larger and can be seen with the naked eye, while in solutions, the particles are at the molecular or ionic level and cannot be seen.


What is the process of precipitation at the molecular level?

Precipitation at the molecular level occurs when solute particles in a solution come together to form solid particles (precipitate) due to a change in solubility. This can happen when the solution becomes supersaturated, leading to the formation of solid particles and their settling out of the solution. The process involves attraction forces between solute molecules overcoming the forces keeping them in solution, resulting in their aggregation and precipitation.


Do solutes dissolve into solvents?

Yes, solutes dissolve into solvents to form a homogenous mixture. The solute particles disperse and intermingle with the solvent particles at a molecular level. This process occurs due to the interactions between the solute and solvent molecules.


Why can you filter a suspension but not a solution?

You can filter a suspension because the particles are physically larger and can be trapped by the filter, whereas a solution has particles dissolved at the molecular level and passing through the filter. In a solution, the particles are homogeneously distributed in the solvent and cannot be separated by physical means like filtration.


The particles of a suspension are dissolved into the solvent.?

The particles of a suspension are dissolved into the solvent.

It is a chemical change because it is irreversible and the change happens on a molecular level.


How mixture different from a solution?

A solution is a type of mixture at the molecular/atomic level. Mixtures that are not solutions usually contain particles visible at either the microscopic or macroscopic level.


What does heat result from?

Heat is random motion or vibrations that take place on an atomic or molecular level. The faster particles are moving, the hotter they are.


Is it true that solution particles do not mix at the atomic or molecular level?

Oh, what a lovely question! When we mix solutions, the particles do indeed mix at the atomic or molecular level. They interact and spread out evenly, creating a uniform mixture. Just like when we blend colors on our palette to create a beautiful painting, the atoms and molecules in solutions blend harmoniously to form a new solution.


When particles transfer energy by bumping into each other what is it called?

This process is called conduction. In conduction, energy is transferred through direct contact between particles by collisions and interactions at the molecular level.


Is heat a form of kinetic energy?

Yes, heat is a form of kinetic energy because it is the energy associated with the movement of particles at the atomic or molecular level.


Where does it occur in the earth system when two objects at different temperatures touch?

When two objects at different temperatures touch, heat transfer occurs through a process called conduction. This happens at the molecular level as the particles of higher energy transfer thermal energy to the particles of lower energy, resulting in a redistribution of heat until equilibrium is reached.
