ok, when a substance begins to freeze, it is because the particles of the substance lose energy and begin to move more and more slowly. eventually, these particles move slow enough to create bonds and voila, you have a frozen substance.

By which process is heat energy transferred when molecules within a substance collide?

Heat energy is transferred through conduction when molecules within a substance collide. This process involves the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between particles.


Energy is transferred through matter by direct contact of particles by?

Conduction. This process involves the transfer of heat from a warmer substance to a cooler substance when they are in direct contact. The particles in the warmer substance transfer energy to the particles in the cooler substance through collisions, leading to an overall transfer of heat.


What thermal energy moving from one substance to another?

Heat transfer is the process by which thermal energy moves from one substance to another. This can occur through conduction (direct transfer through touch), convection (transfer through fluid movement), or radiation (transfer through electromagnetic waves).


What do you have to do to heat energy to freeze a substance?

To freeze a substance, you need to remove heat energy from it. This can be achieved through processes like refrigeration, where the substance is exposed to lower temperatures that cause it to release its heat energy, leading to freezing. External cooling methods, such as placing the substance in a freezer or using an ice bath, can also help to remove heat energy and freeze the substance.


How does heat moves through liquid and gases?

Heat moves through liquids and gases primarily through convection. This process involves the transfer of heat energy through the movement of the molecules within the substance. As the substance is heated, the molecules gain energy and move around, carrying heat from one area to another. Additionally, in liquids and gases, heat can also be transferred through conduction and radiation, but convection is the dominant mechanism.

Does melting occur when a substance changes from a liquid to a solid?

This change in the state of matter (liquid to solid) is called freezing, not melting; it is a physical change, the chemical nature of the molecules is not changed.

Liquid turns into a solid?

Liquid solidifies through the removal of heat. This usually entails the lowering of temperature to the freezing point of that pure (or impure) substance. Impurities will lower the freezing point of liquid, and mixtures of substances will result in a range of freezing points.
