When ice cream melts, the particles actually move faster, not slower, then when it is unmelted.

Can heating cheese cause the particles to move slower?

Heating cheese can increase the kinetic energy of its particles, causing them to move faster rather than slower. This increased movement can lead to the cheese melting or changing in texture.


Do particles move slower in cold solids hot solids or hot gases?

Particles move slower in cold solids. In the solids, they are more compact and closer together. Particles move slower as temperature drops, so particles in this case move slowest in cold solids. This is because the higher the temperature the particles receive, the more kinetic energy they get as well, and thus the faster they move. If it helps, try thinking of when your cold. You use energy to warm yourself up by moving around, rubbing your hands, even shivering, this is all in an effort to raise your body temperature, so the more movement, the more energy and therefore the higher temperature! Hope this helps! :)


What happens to particles when something freezes?

the particles freeze up & not moving they lose energy and turn into ice


Why does gas move slower in cold air?

Gas molecules move slower in cold air because lower temperatures reduce their average kinetic energy, causing them to lose speed. This decrease in speed leads to a decrease in the gas pressure, which in turn affects the rate at which gas particles move.


Is there a way to stop the particles from moving?

If you mean, thermal motion, if an object is cooled down, the particles will move slower. Absolute zero (no particle movement, and no other kind of internal energy) can be approached, but it can't be reached completely.If you mean, thermal motion, if an object is cooled down, the particles will move slower.

When you take ice cream from your freezer and it melts what happens?

its a physical changes the particles in the ice cream do not move cause its a liquid


Do the particles in solid ice move slower than the particles in liquid?

Yes. The colder the substance become, the slower the particles move. Actually in pure ice the particles do not move at all.


Do gas particles move slower than solid particles?

No. Gas particles move much faster than solid particles.


When you add energy to the particles move?

faster. and matter then would move slower

When particles of a gas lose thermal energy do they move slower or faster?

When particles of a gas lose thermal energy, they move slower. This is because temperature and kinetic energy are directly proportional - as thermal energy decreases, the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases, leading to slower movement.


Do particles in a liquid move faster or slower when the temperature increases?

faster


What is the movement of the particles of liquid?

gliding movement. The particles move faster then that of a solid, but slower than that of a gas.


Use the particle theory to explain the expansion and contraction of a solid when temperature is changed?

The expansion and contraction using particles is when a liquid melts because the particles get more energy and move around so making the substance appear less then there is and when the particles cool down they loose energy and move around slower so making them appear bigger than when they were warmer.


How do particles move at higher temperatures compared to how they move at lower temperatures?

particles move faster, such as when you are hot and you want to get away from everyone. lower tempertures move slowly and gather up into groups, as if u were cold and you would want a group hug to get warmer, also you move slower because it is cold.


If thermal energy is added to matter do the particles move slower?

No - they speed up
