Kinetic Theory says that molecular speed is a function of temperature. That is:

Kinetic Energy = .5*m*v^2 = 1.5*k*T

where k is the Boltzmann Constant=1.38E-23 Joules/Kelvin

The answer above may be true but how ever does not answer the question the answer is Molecules move faster when it is warm and when it is cool the Molecules move slower!!!!!!!

When energy is converted to molecules and they move faster does temperature increase or decrease?

As molecules move faster, they cause friction, which increases the temperature of the molecules.


Which occurs when air is compressed A. Air Temp rises and air molecules move faster B. Air temp decreases C. Air temp decreases and air molecules move faster D. Air molecules move slower?

A. air temperature rises and air molecules move faster


Do molicules move faster in a solid or in a liquid?

Molecules in a liquid move faster than in a solid because the intermolecular forces in a liquid are weaker, allowing molecules to move around more freely. In a solid, molecules are held tightly in a fixed position by strong intermolecular forces.


Do molecules move faster when heat increases?

Atoms comprising a molecule move faster as heat increases.


Do molecules move slower or faster or the same during evaporation?

Molecules move faster during evaporation because when a liquid evaporates, the molecules gain energy from the surroundings, increasing their kinetic energy and causing them to move more rapidly.


What happens to a fluid when it heats?

When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules. When the liquid molecules are heated, they move faster so the liquid boils and some molecules becomes gas molecules.


Why solids expand on heating?

That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.That's because the molecules or atoms move faster, and in general have more energy.


Do molecules move faster in a liquid?

Molecules actually move faster in liquid because they have more space between them to move about. That's why liquid can flow, and a solid cannot. =)


Why do molecules move faster when heated?

Because of friction


Do molecules move faster when a solid is heated?

yes


Do molecules move faster with heat or with cold?

heat


What happens to water molecules when they are heated?

Like all molecules, a molecule of H20 is in constant motion; 'hot' molecules move faster than 'cold' molecules. If the molecules move slowly enough the substance appears stationary to us (frozen water) and if they move quickly enough they will expand to fill their container (vapor or gas water.)
