Yes, the hotter atoms are, the faster they more.

How do molecules move during a phase change in a liquid to gas?

During a phase change from liquid to gas, molecules gain energy to overcome the intermolecular forces holding them together in the liquid state. As they absorb energy, molecules start to move faster and break free from their fixed positions, eventually leading to a transition to the less dense gas phase.


Is pressure higher or slower when molecules move faster or slower?

Pressure is higher when molecules move faster because they collide with the walls of the container more frequently and with greater force. Slower-moving molecules result in lower pressure as they collide less frequently and with less force.


Does gas expand when cooled?

No, gas contracts or decreases in volume when cooled because the molecules lose kinetic energy and move closer together. This decrease in volume causes the gas to contract and take up less space.


Do molecules move faster in a gas or a solid?

Basically, a solid is quite stationary. It doesn't move very much. Liquids have more energy, meaning that the particles move a lot freer. In a gas the particles are a lot further apart, meaning that they have a LOT more space to move. Solids can be made to move faster if you give it enough energy (ie, heat). The atoms then start vibrating faster, making spaces between the atoms. This is what happens (basically) when you melt something.


What happens to the volume of a gas when it is cooled?

When any gas (or gas mixture), including air, is cooled, the molecules will move slower and they will be able to be closer together. The volume needed to store a certain amount of gas will be less. If you cool it enough, it will eventually turn into a liquid.


When gas is cooled its molecules?

.... will slow down in motility.


What happens when gas is heated and cooled in a container?

When steaming something covered with a lid, over the stove, and you lift the lid, there is condensation....the gas turns back into a liquid. Same would happen in the above named situation. It would turn back into it's original state...liquid.


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.


What will happen when atom and molecules of substance melt freeze boil or condense?

When a substance melts, the molecules move more freely and when it freezes, they move more slowly. When a substance boils and becomes a vapor (gas), the molecules again move faster than when in the liquid state, and when the vapor condenses, the molecules move slower.


Do condensation molecules move quickly or slowly?

Condensation molecules move more slowly than gas molecules because they are closer together and have lower kinetic energy. As they lose energy, they come together to form liquid droplets or solid particles.


What happens to the atoms of a gas when the gas is cooled?

The atoms loose kenetic energy and bounce around slower. This causes the gas to have less preasure and, if cooled enough, can cause the gas to condense into a liquid or sublimate into a solid.


When the molecules in a body move with increased speed is it a possible that the body will change from gas to a liquid?

Yes, when the molecules in a gas are cooled down and their speed decreases, they come closer together and turn into a liquid. This process is known as condensation, and it occurs when the kinetic energy of the gas molecules decreases enough for them to form a liquid.
