During freezing, free-moving molecules of a liquid substance align themselves into a gridwork and no longer freely move. They become essentially stationary, and the strong bonds between them are formed by the changes in temperature, and are strong in nature, preventing the movement of the molecules.

As you take heat energy from the molecules, they are not able to move as much, and they form the gridwork that becomes a solid.

Which type of precipitation happens when the temperature between the clouds and the ground is warmer than zero degrees Celsius freezing?

Rain occurs when the temperature is above freezing both in the clouds and at the ground level. If the temperature in the clouds is below freezing but at the ground level it is above freezing, sleet or freezing rain may occur.


At what particle level do interactions between atoms and molecules occur?

Interactions between atoms and molecules occur at the particle level, specifically at the level of electrons and protons within the atoms and molecules.


What do particle accelerators measure?

Particle accelerators measure properties of particles such as mass, charge, energy, and momentum. They can also be used to study fundamental forces, particle interactions, and the structure of matter at a subatomic level.


What is the significance of the in physics and how does it impact the behavior of particles at the quantum level?

The significance of the in physics lies in its role as a fundamental constant that determines the behavior of particles at the quantum level. This constant, known as Planck's constant, governs the relationship between a particle's energy and its frequency. At the quantum level, the value of the influences the uncertainty principle, which states that the position and momentum of a particle cannot be precisely determined simultaneously. This leads to the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics and the wave-particle duality of particles.


How does electromagnetic energy have both wave and particle characteristics?

This is not something we can explain with classical physics - its a new phenomenon that happens at the subatomic level. It affects everything that happens on a very small scale; for example, an electron, too, has wave and particle characteristics. Briefly, it seems that the wave is not a mechanical wave in the traditional sense, but a probability distribution that tells you what is the probability of finding a particle in a specific region of space. Do some reading - for example on Wikipedia - on "wave-particle duality", for more details.

Clipping level increases. For example, if the clipping level was 2V before freezing, it will clip at a voltage greater than 2V when frozen.

What hapens on a particle level when a substance changes state?

When a substance changes state, the particles within it undergo rearrangement. During melting, for example, particles gain enough energy to break free from their fixed positions, transitioning from a solid to a liquid state. In contrast, during freezing, particles lose energy, slowing down and forming a more fixed arrangement as they transition from a liquid to a solid state.


Explain what happened at the particle's level when a solid dissolves in a liquid?

The particle's level raise a bit higher than usual. The solid gives more weight to the liquid, causing the solid and liquid to have a much larger particle level!!!!!


How does heat travel by conduction?

Heat, on a molecular or atomic level, is kinetic energy; fast moving particles are literally hotter. So, if a fast moving particle collides with a slower particle, there will be an exchange of energy. We know from basic physics that force equals mass times acceleration, so when a force is applied to a particle, that particle will accelerate. That is how heat is transferred particle by particle. All of this happens on such a small, sub-microscopic scale, that we do not see the mechanics of it, we just see heat being conducted.
