At its boiling temperature the particles of a liquid are moving so slowly that they begin to form regular patterns. I know this is false, but why is it false?

Question

Think about the process. If you boil water for example, let's determine what's actually happening. If you are boiling water, you are adding thermal energy to the water system. Adding energy will increase the total energy of the water system, thus the particles in the system will gain kinetic energy. The particles will begin to move faster and faster until eventually they are in the gaseous state. So the reason the statement is false, is because particles are not slowing down, they are speeding up! And the patterns would be anything but! The faster particles are moving, the more they spread apart and randomly collide with each other and any other surfaces.

Motion is much faster , means collisions are MUCH more frequent - order is broken MORE.
That simple.

the particles of the boiling  liquid are moving so fast that their motion is almost chaotic

anonymous · Answer

Particals actually go faster, instead of slow.

@UnkleRhaukus  sorry to find a deficiency in your argument, buuut- going even at the speed of light DOES NOT BY ITSELF MAKE THE MOTION CHAOTIC. 

EXACTLY THE COLLISIONS MAKE THE MOVEMENT CHAOTIC, and yes THE COLLISIONS BECOME MORE FREQUENT WHEN THE MOLECULES MOVE FASTER. Without the collisions NO CHAOS at all !

In fact molecules and electrons are routinely accelerated in particle accelerators to near-light speed (which is VERY HOT , much hotter than boiling!) and their motion is PERFECTLY STRAIGHT. Also the hottest particles observed on earth - cosmic rays, also move quite orderly - because of the first law of Newton-Gallileo they just move in straight line, you know...
As I pointed ABOVE - since the whole matter is together THE COLLISIONS are becoming more frequent .

Thanks @youridebruijn

@Mikael  yes, but we know the substance is a liquid , so collisions are inevitable 

dont be sorry to find  deficiencies in my arguments ,
if my arguments have holes i would like to know about them
