Do molecules have least kinetic energy in liquid phase?

If the molecules in question have a solid phase, for example water which goes from liquid to solid, namely ice, then least kinetic energy is the solid phase, with minimum kinetic occurring at 0 Kelvin (absolute zero).


Could the Molecules In The Gas Phase Move Faster Than The Same Molecules Move In The Liquid Phase?

Yes, molecules in the gas phase typically move faster than in the liquid phase because gas molecules have more kinetic energy compared to liquid molecules due to the higher temperatures in the gas phase. Additionally, there is more space between gas molecules, allowing them to move more freely and at higher speeds compared to the liquid phase where molecules are more closely packed.


What causes the energy to increase in the process of evaporation?

Energy is required to overcome the intermolecular forces holding liquid molecules together. As the liquid molecules absorb energy from their surroundings, they gain enough kinetic energy to break free from the liquid phase and evaporate into the gas phase.


When ice on a plate melts why does the plate cool down as well?

When ice is placed on a plate that is warmer than the ice, some of the heat energy from the plate is transferred to the ice. (This is due to the molecules in the plate transferring kinetic energy to those in the ice. The molecules in the plate crash into those in the ice, losing speed and giving the molecules in the ice more speed). Since the heat energy is transferred away from the plate, the plate cools down. (The ice is not cooling down, it is heating up.)


What does an ice cube go through when it is melting?

When an ice cube is melting, it absorbs heat from its surroundings, causing the ice crystals to break down and transition into liquid water. The temperature of the ice cube will gradually increase until it reaches the melting point of 0 degrees Celsius, at which point it will fully melt into water.

Where do molecules go when ice melts?

The melting of ice is a change of phase, from solid to liquid, a physical processus. The molecules of water (H2O) remain unchanged during the change of phase.


Is the amount of water the same after the solid ice change phase to its initial form as an ice water?

A phase change does NOT chance the total number of molecules. There will be some evaporation and sublimation too. During the time that ice melts there will some molecules that sublimate to water vapor and also some water molecules evaporate to vapor. But the total mass and number of molecules will not change.


Which phase of water allows individual water molecules to get closest together?

Water molecules are closest together in the liquid phase.


What happen to the ices molecules during this phase change?

The ice (solid) become water (liquid); the distances between molecules are decreased during the change of phase, also the attraction forces.


Are molecules of H2O is the solid phase arranged in a geometric patter?

Yes. But there are many (about 15) different phases of ice. Have a crack at Ice in wikipedia.com.


In which phase of water can the molecules of water flow over each other?

Ice can float on liquid water.


Which phase of water can the molecules of water flow over each other?

Ice can float on liquid water.

What phase is a ice cube in?

the ice cube is in a phase of a solid.


What phase change does the arrangement of water molecules become most orderly?

During fusion, or the formation of a solid, as in liquid water turning to ice.


What is the chemical symbol for ice?

The chemical symbol for ice is H2O, which represents the water molecule. Ice is the solid phase of water, where water molecules are arranged in a crystalline structure.


What happens to water 0 Celsius?

It starts to freeze at 0oC , if heat is still withdrawn from the water: it is needed for the freezing of water molecules from the liquid phase to solid phase (ice) and during this temperature will remain 0oC.
