Well, basically, a gas is a lot less dense than a liquid. The particles spread out more freely and move a lot faster. It obviously takes energy for this occur.

What happens to substance during changed between liquid and gas?

The particles of the substance gain kinetic energy as they absorb heat energy. Eventually there is enough kinetic energy for the particles to escape the liquid phase, forming the gas phase.


Which answer lists the substances in order from greatest energy of particles to least energy of particles?

The order from greatest energy of particles to least energy of particles is: Plasma > Gas > Liquid > Solid.


What happens to particles of a liquid as the liquid boils?

the particles are given more energy.


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 does sound travel in solid liquid and in gas . explain?

Sound travels by particles (such as atoms or molecules) bumping into other particles, thus transferring the energy, in form of a sound.


Which are the first particles to evaporate from a liquid?

The particles with the highest kinetic energy are the first to evaporate from a liquid. These particles are usually found near the surface of the liquid where they can break free from intermolecular forces and escape into the air. This process is known as evaporation.


When comparing a solid with a liquid which has particles with more energy?

Liquid


How is the energy in a liquid?

The energy is slow ; particles are close together


How does the movement of particles in a liquid help to explain the shape and volume in a liquid?

Because its particles are free to move, a liquid has no definite shape. However, it does have a definite volume.


When energy is added to liquid what does it change into?

The liquid is changed in a gas.


Which has the most energy particles in steam particles in liquid water particles in ice or particles in freezing water?

Steam has the most energy as its particles are in the gaseous state and move faster than particles in liquid water or ice, which are in the solid or liquid state respectively. Freezing water has a similar amount of energy as liquid water since they are at the same temperature.


Which answer lists the subtances in order from greatest energy of particles to least energy of particles?
