Question

Describe in your own words, in terms of particle movement and energy, what occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point.

Answer 1

@Abhisar

Answer 2

When liquid is heated to it's boiling point, the kinetic energy of the particle increases and they start moving randomly with high speeds.

Answer 3

Got it ?

Answer 4

yeah thanks but this is what i said can it be right?
When a solid is heated to its melting point, it will begin to melt, when it does melt it will become a liquid. When you heat something up is begins to increase. Atoms or molecules can conquer inter molecular attractions because the contain a fair amount of kinetic energy. When there is no forces acting upon it then it'll go away.

Answer 5

"When you heat something up is begins to increase" ???

Answer 6

idk

Answer 7

i mean increase in size

Answer 8

The fundamental difference between the three states of matter lies essentially in the difference of the relative amounts of energy possessed by the particles in the three states. The relative energies in the different states of matter are governed by the two opposing tendencies associated with the particles.

a) They have tendency of mutual attraction
b) They have tendency to escape from each other which is known as escaping tendency.

Whether a given system would exist as solid, liquid or gas depends upon the relative strengths of these opposing tendencies.

Answer 9

In solids the force of attraction is much greater than the kinetic energy of the particles or the escaping tendency of the particles. So they are clinged to each other and behave like solids. When they are heated, particles gain somew amount of kinetic energy and are able to slightly overcome the mutual attraction. Thus they start behaving like liquids. Now when they are more heated they gain enough kinetic energy to completely overcome the mutual attraction and thus start behaving like gases.
