What does a substance gain or lose when its temperature changes?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
The density of the substance becomes higher because of the particles slow down and move closer together when the substance cools.

Does a substance gain energy when it freezes?
Lose
Does it gain or lose energy when a solid melts?
anytime a substance changes it's molecular structure (solid to liquid, liquid to solid, liquid to gas, solid to gas, gas to liquid) it loses engergy.
Does melting lose or gain temperaturre?
loses When ice melts it gains heat. The environment, however, loses heat. So what does heat have to do with temperature? Often they vary in the same direction; temperature has been likened to the average kinetic energy of the substance. Melting typically ( e,g,, for ice-water) clamps the temperature at a constant value, but heat flows into the substance that melts.
Do atoms lose protons but seldom lose or gain electrons?
No. Atoms can gain and lose electrons but seldom gain or lose protons.
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.
When do most substances lose or gain energy?
Most substances lose or gain energy when their temperature changes.
What happens to the temperature of substance while it is changing state?
It can lose or gain energy or it forms the attractions between particles.
What happens to temperature of a substance while it is changing state?
It can lose or gain energy or it forms the attractions between particles.
What happens to the temperatures of a substance while it is changing state?
It can lose or gain energy or it forms the attractions between particles.
Does a substance gain energy when it freezes?
Lose
How the charge of an atom changes?
The gain and/or lose of electrons.
Does a hygroscopic substance gain or lose weight over time?
yes
What causes the particles of a substance to lose thermal energy?
The particles in a substance lose thermal energy as the temperature decreases, because the particles are moving and vibrating less.
Does it gain or lose energy when a solid melts?
anytime a substance changes it's molecular structure (solid to liquid, liquid to solid, liquid to gas, solid to gas, gas to liquid) it loses engergy.

How sweating helps maintain normal body temperature?
The watery fluids in the human body have a high specific heat capacity. This is one of the reasons why the temperature of the body changes slowly when the temperature of the surroundings changes slowly when the temperature of the surroundings changes. The specific heat capacity of a substance is the energy transferred by heating needed to raise the temperature of 1kg of the substance through 1 degrees.
Do atoms lose and gain electrons when a new substance is forming?
Some atoms lose electrons, some gain electrons, and some share electrons depending on what elements are involved and what compound is forming.
