Since molecules are particles of matter, it takes energy to move them. Heat is a form of energy. It causes molecules to bounce into each other separating them. As molecules separate, their density, the amount of matter found in a given volume or space, decreases. Air that is heated will rise, therefore, because the gravitational force of the earth on the heated molecules is less than it was on the higher density collection of molecules.

Therefore the molecules will spread and become partially flowful- Like the molecules in liquid.

They vibrate or move around vigorously depending on their state of matter. If there is enough heat, the intermolecular bonds can break into smaller molecules or separated atoms.

And when you cool molecules to 0 degrees Kelvin, you reach Absolute Zero, a point in which the molecules don't move at all.

What happens if a molecule with a high kinetic energy happenes to be close to the liquid's surface?

Then that molecule will escape the surface of the liquid and become a molecule of gas. This is the process by which water slowly evaporates even when not heated.

What happens when ethanol is heated in presence of concentrated H2SO4?

When ethanol is heated in the presence of concentrated H2SO4, it undergoes dehydration to form ethylene gas. This reaction follows an elimination mechanism where a water molecule is eliminated from ethanol to produce ethylene.

Does a molecule stay in fixed position when heated?

When a molecule is heated, it gains kinetic energy and its atoms vibrate at a higher frequency. This increased thermal motion causes the molecule to shift position, rotate, or even break apart depending on the strength of the intermolecular forces holding it together. So, a molecule does not stay in a fixed position when heated.
