Raising the temperature of most solids causes the vibration of the molecules to increase in amplitude and speed. This results in the solid expanding as the molecules take up more space due to their increased movement.

Why can only solids vibrate but liquid and gases can't?

Liquids and gases can vibrate. In fact sound is the vibration of air molecules.


How does heating and cooling affect the speed of the molecules in a solids and the distance between them?

In solids, heat is the energy of vibrating molecules or atoms; the higher the temperature, the greater the vibration. And when molecules or atoms vibrate more, there will be more space between them.


Do atoms or molecules in solids have no motion?

solids have molecules that move until they reach a temperature called true zero where all atomic movement stops. true zero is a relly cold temperature


The solubility of most solids as the temperature increases?

The solubility of most solids increases as temperature increases. This is because as temperature rises, the kinetic energy of molecules also increases, allowing solvent molecules to break apart solute molecules more easily. However, there are exceptions where solubility may decrease with temperature due to the dissolution process being endothermic.


When temperature rises solids do what?

When temperature rises, solids generally expand because the particles within the solid gain kinetic energy and move with greater vibration, causing the material to take up more space.


How does sound travel through solids liquids gasses?

In solids, sound travels through the vibration of molecules in a compressional wave. In liquids, sound also travels through compressional waves but with less resistance to movement compared to solids. In gases, sound travels through the propagation of pressure waves created by vibrating molecules.


What phase do molecules vibrate most?

Molecules vibrate most in the gas phase because the molecules have more freedom of movement and space to move around compared to the liquid or solid phases. In the gas phase, molecules have higher kinetic energy, leading to more vigorous and rapid vibration.


Does silver freeze?

No, the molecules only compact into more and more dense solids as temperature decreases.


Can diffusion take place in solids liquids gases or all three substances?

Diffusion occurs with all molecules, but for many solids, it is an extraordinarily slow process at normal temperatures. Solids in contact with other solids may exchange a few molecules per second, and some may "jump back" again. The diffusion speed can be increased by raising the substances to high temperatures, giving the exterior molecules greater energy.


What kind of materials carries sound fastest and furfest?

Sound travels fastest through solids because the molecules are more closely packed together, allowing for quicker vibration transfer. Sound travels slowest through gases as the molecules are more spread out, causing slower vibration transfer.


How does heat affects some solids?

Temperature is the measure of kinetic energy of the molecules involved in the solid. If you increase the temperature, you increase the kinetic energy.


How does energy from the sun affect the motion of molecules in a solid compared to molecules in a gas?

The energy from the sun increases the motion of molecules in both solids and gases by providing heat. In solids, this energy increases the vibration and rotation of molecules within a fixed position. In gases, the energy causes the molecules to move more freely and rapidly throughout the space.
