What is the measures of how rapidly its individual molecules are moving?

∙ 9y ago
The measure of the average speed of a large number of molecules, particularly
in a gas, is their average speed, or, better, their average kinetic energy. On the
scale where we're able to observe that average, it manifests itself as the pressure
of the gas, and as the temperature of any substance.

What happens to water molecules as ice melts?
the molecules absorb heat and start moving rapidly changing from solid to liquid
How is jelly a liquid?
The way the classify it as a liquid, is how far apart the molecules are spread. In jelly the molecules must be spread apart and moving more rapidly than a solid structure such as wood.
When water molecules are moving closer together in the air is called?
When water molecules are moving closer together in the air it is called
Who are the scientist behind the kinetic molicular theory?
Daniel Bernoullipublished an article describing a theory on this subject in 1743. However, it wasn't until the latter half of the next century that a statistical view developed by James Clerk Maxwelland Ludwig Boltzmann convinced physicists and chemists that individual molecules in a gas could be viewed as independent, rapidly moving bodies.
Are molecules free moving?
yes
What is the name of a substance that measures of how rapidly its individual molecules are moving?
Temperature
What does temperature measure?
Temperature measures how fast molecules are moving or in scientific terms it measures the AVERAGE KINETIC ENERGY in a system. Temperature measures how fast molecules are moving. :):)
What is the physical state in which matter has rapidly moving molecules?
gas
What happens to water molecules as ice melts?
the molecules absorb heat and start moving rapidly changing from solid to liquid
Why cant we see the molecules of water moving around?
Individual molecules are too small.
Measures how fast air molecules are moving?
A thermometer. Temperture is the measure of the kinetic energy, Aka speed, of molecules.
What transfer of thermal energy?
Heat being transferred from one thing to another. The rapidly moving molecules cause slower moving molecules to speed up. Running warm water over your cold hands would be an example.
What is Transfer of thermal energy?
Heat being transferred from one thing to another. The rapidly moving molecules cause slower moving molecules to speed up. Running warm water over your cold hands would be an example.
What happens to molecules when heat is added?
Heat is atoms and molecules moving so they start moving.
How is jelly a liquid?
The way the classify it as a liquid, is how far apart the molecules are spread. In jelly the molecules must be spread apart and moving more rapidly than a solid structure such as wood.
How does that heat travel the stove to the water in the kettle?
Energy in the form of rapidly moving molecules that are transferred to the kettle, which transfers to the water itself. The heat is caused by the friction of the molecules caused by the heating source.
What Change is happening as a liquid changes to a gas?
its boiling, the molecular structure of the liquid is changing. The molecules are moving farther apart and moving faster. Gas molecules are fartherest apart and move randomly and rapidly. If you put more air into a balloon it becomes harder because the air molecules are moving faster in a defined space. It explodes when the molecules exert more pressure than the balloon itself can stand.
