When liquid water is heated are collisions between molecules more violent?

Yes, as water is heated, the molecules continue to speed up until they are moving so fast that they fly off which is what we call steam when you are boiling water.

What are your rocks and soil heated by?
Rocks and soil are heated by two things, atoms and molecules. when they get heated they vibrate and sends heat to other atoms or molecules in the same substance until the whole thing is heated. The energy comes from the sun, but the atoms and molecules really heat them.
What happens to the water molecules as they start to heat up?
Heating water molecules causes them to move faster and faster. Water when cool is in a way (sticky). When heated the water molecules are moving far too quickly stick together. The heated water molecules become less dense and may stick to air molecules. Floating into and combining with the atmosphere.
Thunder is when what expands and contacts after a lightning strike?
air molecules
What happens to the water molecules when water turns to ice?
Some of the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules break and three-dimensional hydrogen bonded structure is broken. This causes the number of molecules per unit volume to increase (this is exceptional for water) and thus intermolecular distance decreases.
What holds heat longer soil or sand?
Sand because molecules stay heated within.
When air is heated up what?
The individual air molecules' kinetic energy increases, thus, increasing the amount of collisions between the molecules. It expands, so it becomes less dense than the surrounding air and therefore it rises (floats) upwards.
When water molecules heat up and turn to steam the molecules begin to move?
When water molecules are heated and turned into steam they move faster causing more collisions. They also move farther apart.
Do gas molecules get bigger when heated?
No, but the spaces between them gets bigger.
Why do hot reactions do better than cold reactions?
When heated particles move faster. Reactions happen when particles smash together, so, when a mixture is heated the particles are moving around a lot and therefore more collisions happen this makes a more violent reaction.
When molecules in liquids and gases are heated they?
When molecules in liquids and gases are heated they move faster
Why would an aerosol can blow up if it was placed in an hot oven?
An aerosol can contains compressed gas, which is already under pressure. If the gas is heated the pressure will increase, and if it heated a lot, the pressure will become great enough to cause an explosion. The connection between temperature and pressure comes about because temperature, on the molecular level, is determined by the speed at which the molecules are moving. And faster molecules have more energetic collisions, thereby exerting more pressure.
How does the speed of molecules of gas change when heated?
The speed of the molecules speeds up when the gas is heated.
Does atoms and molecules of gases and liquids are heated they sink?
after atoms and molecules of gases and liquids are heated, they sink?
What happened to the water molecules when they are heated?
the molecules evapourate
Why do objects expands when heated?
They expand because their molecules vibrate more rapidly resulting in more space between the molecules which makes the object expand.
When change liquid to solid?
Solids change to liquids when they are heated and the bonds between the molecules are weaked so the molecules can move around more freely
Why do molecules move when heated?
So when molecules are heated, the heat is so intense that they have to move around for them to cool down.
