There is a scientific explanation to why convection, and convection currents occur. Firstly, when the fluid is heated, the particles vibrate more and move further away from each other, decreasing the density of the fluid. This lighter fluid then rises above the denser fluid. While it is rising, the newly heated fluid cools, and this makes the particles oscillate less, making them closer together, and increasing the density of that part of the fluid, making it sink. This cycle is repeated to create a convection current

What explains how the particles in gases behave?
Kinetic Theory.
A sample of hydrogen gas will behave most like an ideal gas under the conditions of?
High temperature and low pressure. High temperature because this speeds up the rate of the molecules so there is less intermolecular forces of attraction between particles. Low pressure because the greater the distance of the particles and the less molecular forces of attraction between particles.
Is a boiling point higher than a melting point?
well acuttaly a boiling point is higher because the boiling point is at 100 degrees and like so a melting point is a 0 degrees and a boiling point the particles spread out quicker but the melting point the particles are a strong bond so cannot be squahsed and are at a lower rate of temprrature/heat
How does frozen pure water behave?
Pure water has a freezing temperature of 0 degrees and a boiling temperature of 100 degrees, unlike tap water which has impurities that can alter it's freezing and boiling point
What is the difference between evaporation and boiling in terms of the movement of the liquid's particles in each case?
In evaporation, only the particles at the surface of the liquid gain enough energy to escape as vapor, while the rest of the liquid remains relatively undisturbed. In boiling, the entire liquid is heated to the boiling point, causing rapid vaporization throughout the liquid and significant movement of particles.
How do melting particles behave?
The particles are moving rapidly
What is the motions of particles when it is boiling?
particles move randomely
What explains how the particles in gases behave?
Kinetic Theory.
How do particles behave in solid?
In a solid, particles are closely packed together and vibrate in fixed positions. They have a fixed shape and volume, and only have slight movements. The particles do not have enough energy to move around freely like in liquids or gases.
Electrons behave like what?
Electrons behave like particles and waves simultaneously, exhibiting wave-particle duality. They can exhibit wave-like interference patterns and particle-like behaviors such as interacting with other particles by exchanging photons.
How do particles behave at its boiling point?
At its boiling point, particles within a substance absorb enough energy to overcome intermolecular forces and transition from liquid to gas phase. The particles become more energetic and move faster, eventually escaping the liquid to form a gas.
How does the vibration of particles change as the temperature moves between freezing and boiling?
The vibration of particles increase with the temperature.
What happens to particles of water when they are boiling from a liquid to a gas?
vaporization
Does salt increase boiling point?
Yes. Not by more than a few degrees Centigrade, though. It's a matter of adding particles to the water. The type of particles is largely irrelevant, but the particles must be heated as well, increasing the boiling point, depending on the amount of particles added.
Can electromagnetic waves can behave like what type of particles?
Electromagnetic waves can behave like particles known as photons. Photons are the quanta of light and exhibit both particle-like and wave-like properties.
What do the particles need to do for boiling to occur?
For boiling to occur, particles in a liquid need to gain enough kinetic energy to overcome the attractive forces holding them together. This causes the liquid to transition into vapor phase as the particles break free from the liquid's surface.
What process do particles of matter release energy?
When it reaches its boiling point.
