the faster an atom moves the hotter it is. and like wise the more the heat something the faster the atoms move.

Easy way to see this is to put an ice cube in a pan on your stove. As you heat it up the molecules start to move faster, you can see this by the ice melting into water, if you keep heating it you'll see steam which is the water converting into a gas.

Which part of an atom make up nearly all the mass of an atom?

This would be the NUCLEUS.


What is produced because land heats up and cools down quickly?

Wind is produced because land heats up and cools down quickly. As the land heats up, air near the surface also heats up and rises. This creates an area of low pressure, causing cooler air from surrounding areas to flow in to fill the void, resulting in wind.


Is the composition of bubbles in boiling water the same as the bubbles that appear when cold water heats up?

They are the same. When cold water heats up and bubbles that means it is boiling.


What would happen if you placed a layered vial in a cup of hot water 2 cm deep?

As the water heats up, the air inside the vial would expand, pushing against the layers and potentially causing them to separate or mix. If the heat is too intense, the vial could crack or shatter due to thermal expansion.


To form a positive ion an atom will give up an electron to gain stability?

It depends on which kind of atom it is. For example, it is rather difficult to let a Cl with a negative charge to give up an electron to gain so-called stability which it has already had. But for a hydrogen negative ion, it is much more easier because a Hydrogen atom doesn't have such a strong power to hold an electron. Basically, the bigger the atom is, the stronger power it will have to hold extra electrons. And all the elements are listed in descending orders from the left to the right, the upside to the downside in Periodic Table of Elements.

What would happen if you placed a couple of ice cubes in a cup of hot tea?

The ice cubes would melt due to the heat of the tea. This would lead to the tea cooling down at a faster rate.


Which would you predict would heat up faster on a sunny day-a pond or a meadow?

It would be the meadow that heats up faster. Why? This is because the land heats up faster during the day (sunny is the key word) than night. So the opposite would happen at night. The land cools slower. Hope this helped.
