Not necessarily. Heat is a form of Thermal Energy. In general Thermal energy is any form of motion of a particle. If you have a single electron you can already have four choices. Transversal Velocity on all 3 coordinate axes and vibration up and down. A molecule can also rotate around its center of mass. So an increase in thermal energy(i.e. heat absorbtion) does not necessarily mean a rise in Speed, it does not exclude the possibility though.

What is it called when heat energy required to break up the attraction of liquid molecules?

When liquid molecules absorb enough heat energy, evaporation occurs.


How does glass absorb heat?

Glass absorbs heat through a process called conduction. When sunlight hits the glass, the glass molecules absorb the energy and begin to vibrate, which causes them to heat up. The heat is then transferred through the glass, warming up the surrounding air or objects.


What food molecules do when penetraded by microwave?

Microwave energy excites the molecules of the food. This generates friction and heat at the molecular level. When food is heated, it causes the molecules to speed up, so artificially speeding up the molecules causes heat to be produced.


Why do empty dishes do not heat up in a microwave?

Empty dishes do not heat up in a microwave because there is nothing for the microwave energy to interact with and convert into heat. The microwaves require water molecules or other substances to absorb them and generate heat, which is why only food or liquids heat up in the microwave.


Will heat or direct sunlight affect the contents of a bottle or liqueur?

Yes! UV light from the sun can ionize the molecules in the liquor and heat will speed up oxidation.


Why do molecules and atoms speed up when the amount of heat added increases?

When heat is added to molecules and atoms, their kinetic energy increases, causing them to move faster. This is because heat energy is transferred to the particles, making them vibrate and move more rapidly.


How is electricity used to make the heater working?

Energy makes molecules rapidly move faster and faster, and when you make molecules move faster you are creating heat. So by using electricity(energy), you speed up the molecules of water, thus creating heat.


How would greenhouse gases retain energy in the atmosphere?

Greenhouse Gases (water, carbon dioxide, methane, SF6 etc.) are made up of at least two molecules. The bond size between the atoms in the molecules is such that it can absorb heat more easily than other molecules. When solar energy comes to the atmosphere they absorb the solar energy as heat then radiate it to other atmospheric (non-greenhouse) gases such as nitrogen and oxygen..


Infrared waves are often called heat waves because they?

induce resonance in molecules and increase internal energy in a substance.


Can wood absorb microwaves?

No, wood does not absorb microwaves as effectively as food or liquids do. Microwaves are designed to excite water molecules in food, causing them to heat up. Wood contains very little water, so it is not a good absorber of microwaves.


How can I speed up the drying process for stains?

To speed up the drying process for stains, you can use a hairdryer on a low heat setting, place a fan near the stained area, or use a clean cloth to blot and absorb excess moisture.
