When particles are heated they get very energetic and try to break away from their bonds to eachother. At the start they make tiny vibrations and gradually get very fast and can turn into a liquad.

What happens to particles in a substance when its heated or cooled?

In a solid, the particles start to vibrate a lot.In a liquid, the particles begin to move around faster and faster.In a gas, the particles move extremely fast through the air.


What happens to the closeness of a material's particles when they are heated?

The particles are bonded together with some force when heat is supplied the then force between particles decreases and the start to move away from each other or we can say that the particles get that energy and become energetic and movement starts in individual particle and the force between the particles decrease. This is why when water is heated the particles detach from each other become steam.


What happens to matter when heated?

When matter is heated it will expand


Substances expand when heated because the molecules?

According to the particle theory, particles move faster and further apart when exposed to higher temperatures. When a substance is heated, its particles acquire thermal energy. These energetic particles--which are constantly vibrating, even in solid form--become very excited, and move around much more, therefore requiring more space. The substance begins to increase in volume, creating larger spaces in between its molecules to accommodate the high-energy movement. This can also cause a change in state. Particles of substance in a solid state: vibrating slightly, densely packed together, little space between molecules. Compare to, Particles of substance in a gaseous state: vibrating excitedly, larger spaces in between molecules, easily compressible (due to empty spaces) If you were to cool a substance in gaseous form, the particles would begin to lose their thermal energy, and eventually change into a liquid state.


What happens to the temperature of boiling water in an open container?

The liquid will expand, it's volume will increase. If it becomes heated enough, it will evaporate (turn into a gas). The more heated it becomes, the more its volume must increase to keep the same pressure.

When a substance is heated what happens to kinetic energy of particles?

When a substance is heated, the kinetic energy of its particles increases. This leads to the particles moving faster and colliding more frequently with each other and the container they are in.


When a substance is heated the particles do what?

accelerate


When a substance is heated its temperature increases. What happens to the energy of its particles?

The energy of its particles increases, so as the particles speed up move faster causing its heating up.


When a substances is heated what happens?

When a substance is heated, its temperature increases and the kinetic energy of its particles also increases. This causes the particles to move faster, leading to increased collisions and interactions among them. Eventually, the substance may undergo physical or chemical changes depending on the temperature and nature of the substance.


What happens to a substance or object when it is heated?

It expands.

What two things happen to particles in a substance when the substance is heated?

When a substance is heated, the particles gain energy and vibrate faster, causing the substance to expand. As the temperature increases further, the particles can reach a point where they break free from their fixed positions and transition from a solid to a liquid state.


What happens to the density of solids liquids and gases when they are heated?

Generally, the density of solids, liquids, and gases decreases as they are heated. When heated, the particles in these substances gain energy and move more, causing the substance to expand, which leads to a decrease in density.


When a substance is blank it gains thermal energy?

When a substance is heated, it gains thermal energy. This increased energy causes the substance's particles to move faster and its temperature to rise.


What happens to the particles in a liquid when they are heated?

The particles in a liguid are bonded (not as strongly as a solid which is why it flows.) when it is heated the particles vibrate and eventually the bonds break and the particles break away. This is evaporation.


Are the particles in a solid linked?

Yes, they have tiny bonds that when the substance is heated break and the substance forms a liquid.


What happens to the speed of gas when heated?

The speed of the gas particles will increase as they are heated. That is why the pressure in a container increases. The particles are hitting the walls of the container with more force as they are heated.
