It is the temperature at which matter evaporates, or becomes a gas. For example, 212 degrees Fahrenheit (100 degrees Celsius) is the boiling/evaporating point of pure water.

How do particles of matter behave when thermal energy is increased?

When thermal energy is increased, the particles of matter move faster and with more kinetic energy. This can lead to the material expanding, changing phase (such as melting or evaporating), or increasing in temperature. Overall, the increase in thermal energy causes the particles to have more vibrational and translational motion.


What are the two physical properties of matter?

Matter is anything that has mass and occupies a space. Matter has 2 properties physical properties and chemical properties. And 2 physical properties include mass and shape (solid, liquid and gas).Other physical properties of molecular matter include:VolumeColorOdorLusterHardnessMelting PointFreezing PointBoiling PointDensityMalleabilityDuctilityConductivity


At what point does humidity make it feel colder?

Humidity can make it feel colder when it is high because it prevents sweat from evaporating, which is how our bodies cool down. This can make it feel like the temperature is lower than it actually is.


What happens to matter when it gets hot?

A matter expands on heating. It gets less density on expanding. But t gets more vlume but the weight remains the same. It also becomes more active ( moves more) for when it cools down it slows down in its consistent movement.


What are the characteristic properties of matter?

Characteristics properties of matter are things such as:densitycolorsizeshapetemperatureThese are just few of hundreds of characteristics

Dissolving any salt into water will raise the boiling point.


What causes steam in the air to form?

water evaporating when water heats it gets to its highest boiling point which is a 100 degrees, then slowly starts rising in the air which is called evaporating, this is when steam is formed.

How can you get dissolved salt back?

evaporating the water, the salt has a much later boiling point than the water and will be left behind


What is the evaporation point of Molybdenum?

The evaporation point of molybdenum is approximately 4,753 degrees Celsius (8,587 degrees Fahrenheit). At this temperature, molybdenum transitions from a solid to a gaseous state by evaporating.


Why is the dew point different on different days?

Because the water isn't evaporating as much so it doesn't build up in the clouds


How do you make evaporation?

heat whatever you are evaporating to a temperature above its boiling point. for water you must heat it to 100 degrees C
