It is true that for the same element, the atoms in a gaseous phase of matter will contain more energy per atom, on average, than atoms of the same element in a liquid state. This is because it takes more energy in the system to maintain all of the high-energy collisions that are required to maintain the gaseous state than a liquid state.

What do molecules bounce around in?

Bouncing molecules are typical of a gas. Gas can be found pretty much everywhere on the surface of the Earth since we have an atmosphere. So gas molecules are bouncing around in our vicinity, in our rooms, bottles, boxes, you name it.


In what state of matter do molecules bounce off one another rapidly and act freely?

In a gas state of matter, molecules move rapidly and have much more space between them compared to solids and liquids. This allows them to bounce off one another freely and fill the volume of their container. The high kinetic energy of gas molecules contributes to their ability to spread out and occupy available space.


As gas particles bounce around and collide they spread to what?

As gas particles bounce around and collide, they spread to fill the available space of their container. This is because gas particles have high kinetic energy and move freely in all directions due to their random motion.


Do gas particles bounce?

Atoms and molecules bounce during collisions of any kind when they are in a solid, liquid or gas. The word "bounce" when used to refer to atoms or molecules means that the have a collision that may be considered elastic. This word "bounce" is not especially scientific. Instead one typically hears about colliions and those collisions are termed elastic or inelastic. If two chemical species are involved in a chemical reaction, then when they have a reactive collision, they do not bounce, but they exit the collision changed in some way. They exchange atoms or somehow exit the collision as one or two or more chemical species. Such collisions do not conserve kinetic energy.

Will heat make a ball bounce higher?

Yes, because the gas molecules in the tennis ball expand. When the molecules expand there energy increases.

Why does gas take up a lot of space?

1st answer: It has a leak of attractionimproved answer: their molecules have very little attraction for one anotherThe little tiny molecules in the gas have lots of energy, and are whizzing around in side, lets say, a balloon. The molecules bounce of the inside of the balloon, forcing the rubber out. This is why balloons don't collapse after you have blown them up.The force of attraction between gas molecules is low, the density is also low.

What is the motion of particle in gas?

They move in a straight line until they hit something and bounce off. Molecules in a gas show random rectilinear motion. This is called Brownian motion


How does the motion of the gas molecules change?

Gas molecules change their motion when they bounce into the surfaces of their containers. If the surfaces absorb the impact, then energy is transfered out of the system and particle speed decreases.


What does a molecule for solid liquid and gas look like?

In a solid, the molecules are very close and compact with very no space to move around. In a liquid the molecules have little space to move around, and in a gas, the molecules are very spaced out. The gas molecules move around a lot because they have so much space between and around them. Hope this helped..

Molecules (almost always, not many atoms can bounce around alone without binding to something).


Does hydrogen gas have a hydrogen to carbon ratio of infinity?

No. Hydrogen gas is Hydrogen molecules floating around. They are looking for Oxygen molecules with which to make water.
