When water heats up, the atoms of that substance shake tremendously and spread from each other. When the atoms are too far apart, liquid cannot sustain itself because there is not enough mass. That's why liquid turns to gas when it's heated.

What happens to solid liquid or gases when they absorb or release the amount of heat?

When a solid absorbs heat, it may melt and turn into a liquid. When a liquid absorbs heat, it may vaporize and turn into a gas. Conversely, when a gas releases heat, it may condense and turn into a liquid, and when a liquid releases heat, it may solidify and turn into a solid.


How do people change the state of matter?

If the matter is in a liquid state, add heat to turn liquid to vapor. Remove heat to form a solid. If it is in the form of a vapor, remove heat to form a liquid, and remove more heat to form a solid. If it is in the form of a solid, add heat to turn it into a liquid. Add more heat to turn into a vapor.


What is it called to turn a liquid into a gas?

any kind of liquid can be turned into a gas with the proper amount of energy applied.


What do you add or subtracting to change a state of matter?

To change the state of matter, you need to add or remove energy. For example, to change a solid to a liquid, heat is added to increase the temperature until it reaches the melting point. Likewise, to change a liquid to a gas, heat is added to increase the temperature until it reaches the boiling point.


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

When heat is added to a beaker of liquid acetone, the acetone molecules gain energy and begin to evaporate into the air as a gas. The increased temperature causes the molecules to move faster and escape the liquid phase.

Vaporization. Exaporaization and boiling are examples of vaporization.


When a cold temperature is added to a liquid it turns to gas?

First you can not add a cold temperature to anything. Ask your teacher to explain what heat is an what temperature is, because you clearly do not understand this. When a liquid BOILS - it turns into gas. When a liquid FREEZES - it turn into a solid.
