Matter only comes in three forms; solid, liquid and gas. There is no other form of matter that allows atoms or molecules to move about freely.

What happens to air molecules when air gets warmer?

At increased temperatures, atoms and molecules exhibit more kinetic energy. This energy shows up as "vibration" in the atom or molecule. Those atoms and molecules also move around more in the "situation" they're in. As a liquid or gas, those particles that make it up will move around more within the volume of that liquid or gas. In a solid, the atoms or molecules will "buzz" increasingly as temperature goes up.


What happens to atoms or molecules when gas becomes liquid?

As pentane is boiled, the intermolecular bonds between molecules of pentane are broken. This makes pentane molecules free to move as they please and expand to fill any volume.


What happens to energy when a liquid turns into gas?

When a substance is changing from liquid to gas, the energy, which is absorbed, causes the atoms (or molecules) to move at a higher rate of speed, so that they are not staying close together, like in the liquid state. So the absorbed energy increases the kinetic energy of the atoms (or molecules).


How are atoms related to molecules in a sample of a compound?

atoms are made of molecules and that is why they are related !


What is the movement of atoms in a liquid during a temperature changes both increases and decreases?

As temperature increases, the atoms will move around more energetically - moving on average faster. Translational speeds increase, rotational speeds of the molecules increase, and the magnitude of vibrations of the atoms about their bonds in molecules increase As temperature decreases, the atoms move around less energetically - moving on average slower. Translational speeds decrease, rotational speeds of the molecules decrease, and the magnitude of vibrations of the atoms about their bonds in molecules decrease

This state of matter is the liquid.


Is matter made out of solid liquid gass?

Matter is a combination of atoms, often molecules, that are in a solid, liquid, or gas phase.


The least dense state of matter is?

Gas. Because the molecules/atoms are free moving


Why is plasma different from solid liquid and gas?

Solid, liquid, and gas states of matter are composed of neutral atoms or molecules. Plasma is the state of matter composed of highly ionized atoms and free electrons.


What make up matter?

So I had this question for school. I looked it up here and in the textbook. So for one thing matter can be in the form of; a solid, a liquid, or a gas (that is not what its made of tho). Matter is made up of molecules, and atoms. So don't put down on your final exam that matter is made up of solid, liquid, and gasses. MATTER IS MADE UP OF MOLECULES AND ATOMS!!


What to learn about matter?

There are different states of matter that include solid, gas, liquid, and plasma. Atoms and molecules are made up of matter. Matter occupies space.

Similarities of liquid and gas?

They are both fundamental phases of matter. They can vary in form, and do not have their atoms or molecules packed closely together.


Are atoms and molecules found in all matter?

Matter is made up of atoms.


Are the eyes made up of atoms and molecules?

Yes…all matter is composed of particles (electrons, nuclei, protons). Together, these particles create atoms. Atoms create molecules and compounds. Since molecules and compounds are matter and eyes are matter, eyes are made up of atoms and molecules.
