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.
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
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.
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.
