Gases expand as they are heated, as do nearly all liquids. In the course of expansion, the molecules move away from each other.

Do the molecules move away from each other when a gas or liquid away?

Yes, the molecules in a gas or liquid move away from each other due to their high kinetic energy. In gases, the molecules have enough energy to overcome the intermolecular forces and move freely in all directions, resulting in expansion to fill the container. In liquids, while there is still movement and some separation of molecules, they are more closely packed compared to gases.


What happens to a liquid mass and volume when it is heated or cooled?

Really? Do you not pay attention the slightest bit. This is common sense here. Well, mass of an object never changes. If heated, it would evaporate. If cooled, it would freeze. The volume also stays the same, cause you're not adding or taking any away.


When ice cubes are heated what does the movement of their constituent atoms do?

All atoms are vibrating all the time. As you heat a substance, the vibration gets faster. So they are jiggling faster. The faster they vibrate (jiggle) the more they are pushing away from each other. Eventually (at 0 degrees C) they are vibrating fast enough to push away from each other. In the case of ice, it is molecules of water which push away from each other, this is a change of state from solid (ice) to liquid (water).


What changes in molecular attraction occur as water goes from a solid to a liquid to a gas?

The changes occuring in molecular attraction as water goes from a solid to a liquid is that the bonds between the molecules weaken and the molecules move further away from each other. Once they become a gas, their bonds break and the molecules float freely around.


How do you explain evaporation using particle theory?

Evaporation occurs when water molecules at the surface of a liquid gain enough kinetic energy to break free from the liquid's surface and become a gas. This process is explained by particle theory as the higher-energy water molecules break away from the liquid and escape into the air, leaving behind lower-energy molecules, which cools the remaining liquid.

Does a gas or liquid heat that its molecules move away from each other?

Both gases and liquids expand when heated because the increase in temperature causes the molecules to move faster and spread apart, leading to an increase in volume. This expansion occurs because the heat energy disrupts the intermolecular forces holding the molecules together, allowing them to move more freely.


Why does liquid rise and fall when heated?

Liquid rises and falls when heated because when heated, liquid will expand causing it to be less dense than the other liquid around it. This results in a buoyant force and it will rise. After rising it will start to cool off since it isn't by the heat source anymore and will become more dense. This will make it more dense than the newly heated up liquid below it and so it will fall to repeat the process.

How many common states of matter are there?

There are four states of matter in the universe although only three natural accruing ones on earth. They are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. Solids molecules are vibrating but not moving relative to one another. Liquid molecules are tumbling over each other. Gas molecules are breaking away from and colliding into each other, and plasma is a super heated gas an electrically charged ( ionized ) state of matter found naturally throughout the Universe.

after atoms and molecules of gases and liquids are heated they move away from the heat . what takes their place?

ions


What happened to air when heated?

It expands, the molecules become more energized (with the influence of heat) and begin to move more rapidly.


What is the process in which water molecules move away from each other to become whater vapor?

The process in which water molecules move away from each other to become water vapor is called evaporation. It occurs when heat energy is added to liquid water, causing the water molecules to gain enough kinetic energy to break free from the liquid and become a gas.


What causes ice cream melt?

Heat causes any frozen liquid to melt. When a liquid is frozen, all of the atoms come together. When that frozen liquid is heated up, all of the atoms move away from each other which causes it to melt.


Explain the difference between sound traveling through an solid liquid or gas?

sound can travel past in solid because the molecules of solid is tightly closed and next liquid the molecules of liquid not so far away to each other and the slower is gas but it can travel longer than solid and liquid because the molecules in gas are far way and can move freely that can travel longer...


What happens when the motion of the molecules in a solid or liquid becomes stronger than the attraction of the molecules to each other?

The particles start to give away and they break away from the attraction. This can be seen when boiling water, because when it boils there are bubbles and that is a sign that a new state is being made (gas) and that the particles are breaking away
