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.

The scientific word for particles are atoms, when heating an object you are applying energy to it, by applying energy to the atoms they start to move around, almost vibrating, while they are doing this they become alot more spaced out, after a while turning to a liquid.

The particles, those atoms/molecules of matter in a sample, will increase in kinetic energy as the sample is heated. Their kinetic energy will appear as vibrational energy, and the amount of vibrational energy of the atoms or molecules of a substance is directly proportional to the temperature of that substance.

When a particle is heated, it gains energy and starts to vibrate more quickly. When this happens to them, they go through a state change from solid to liquid and then to gas.

The attractive forces between the particles become weak

and the distance between them increases.

By heating, you are adding energy. The particles will vibrate(move) faster.

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.


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.


What happens to matter when heated?

When matter is heated it will expand

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.

The motion of particles is accelerated.


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.


What happens to the particles when the substance changes shape?

yes! particles of a substance assume different shapes and sizes


What happens to the temperature of a solid when it is heated?

Heat affects the properties by speeding up the particles and providng them with more energy. As they heated the bounce off one another and expand the solid. When it's cold, The particles have less energy and don't move as much, This results in contraction and the solid shrinks. Basically, Heat ---> expansion Cooling -----> contraction


What happens when particles get heated?

they get excited and move around faster
