Question
How does the motion of particles change as a substance transitions from liquid to gas? In this transition, does the substance absorb or release heat energy?
Step 1
Recognize that substances can exist in different states: solid, liquid, and gas. Each state is characterized by the arrangement and motion of its particles. Show more…

(a) How does the average kinetic energy of molecules compare with the average energy of attraction between molecules in solids, liquids, and gases? (b) Why does increasing the temperature cause a solid substance to change in succession from a solid to a liquid to a gas? (c) What happens to a gas if you put it under extremely high pressure?
