There is a scientific explanation to why convection, and convection currents occur. Firstly, when the fluid is heated, the particles vibrate more and move further away from each other, decreasing the density of the fluid. This lighter fluid then rises above the denser fluid. While it is rising, the newly heated fluid cools, and this makes the particles oscillate less, making them closer together, and increasing the density of that part of the fluid, making it sink. This cycle is repeated to create a convection current

What could be causing the presence of white particles in water after boiling?

The presence of white particles in water after boiling could be caused by minerals such as calcium or magnesium that have precipitated out of the water during the boiling process.


Electrons behave like what?

Electrons behave like particles and waves simultaneously, exhibiting wave-particle duality. They can exhibit wave-like interference patterns and particle-like behaviors such as interacting with other particles by exchanging photons.


How do particles behave in solid?

In a solid, particles are closely packed together and vibrate in fixed positions. They have a fixed shape and volume, and only have slight movements. The particles do not have enough energy to move around freely like in liquids or gases.


How do particles behave at its boiling point?

An extreme example of Brownian Motion. Energetic molecules would be repelling each other in agitation and colliding. Those that accumulate enough energy would escape as gas and vapor (steam). The energy of the particles is that they bounce off of each other making more and more energy

Does salt increase boiling point?

Yes. Not by more than a few degrees Centigrade, though. It's a matter of adding particles to the water. The type of particles is largely irrelevant, but the particles must be heated as well, increasing the boiling point, depending on the amount of particles added.


Why do particles behave differently when observed?

Particles behave differently when observed due to the phenomenon known as wave-particle duality. This means that particles can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior depending on how they are observed. When particles are observed, their wave-like properties collapse into a specific position or state, causing them to behave differently than when they are not being observed. This is a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics and has been demonstrated through various experiments.


Are electrons waves or particles?

Electrons exhibit characteristics of both waves and particles, known as wave-particle duality. They can behave as waves in certain experiments and as particles in others.
