Do molecules gain or lose energy from melting?
When matter melts (changes from a solid to a liquid state), its molecules move faster, meaning they are gaining energy.
Does melting lose or gain energy?
Generally, melting is the process of turning from a solid to a liquid. It entails gaining energy.
Do particles lose or gain energy when changing from a liquid to a gas?
They lose energy.
How do objects gain or lose energy?
lose energy: gravity, otherwise see neuton's laws
Does a substance gain energy when it freezes?
Lose
When a solid melts does its particles lose its heat energy?
No. They gain.
When a solid melts do its particles gain or lose heat energy?
A material must gain energy both before and during melting.
Do molecules gain or lose energy from melting?
When matter melts (changes from a solid to a liquid state), its molecules move faster, meaning they are gaining energy.
Does melting lose or gain energy?
Generally, melting is the process of turning from a solid to a liquid. It entails gaining energy.
When a solid changes to liquid will it gain or lose energy?
It looses energy to the surroundings. When bindings brakes, energy is released.
What is the difference between freezing and melting?
Melting is when you heat something up and it turns from a solid state into a liquid state, such as adding heat to ice (solid) melts it to water (liquid). Freezing is the opposite, so cooling a liquid until it becomes a solid.
When ice melts what happens to the particles of solid water?
when u melt ice the hot particles transfer heat to the cold particles (ice) and the hot particles lose kinetic energy and the cold particles gain kinetic energy till the bonds relax and reaches the same temp
When compounds gain electrons they lose or gain energy?
Lose
When do most substances lose or gain energy?
Most substances lose or gain energy when their temperature changes.
Do particles lose or gain energy when changing from a liquid to a gas?
They lose energy.
Does gas lose or gain thermal energy in condensation?
When condensation occurs, it is a gain thermal energy.
How do objects gain or lose energy?
lose energy: gravity, otherwise see neuton's laws
