what is happening to the atoms as they change from a solid,liqud,gas?

Answer 1

The intermolecular forces between atoms will be changed according to the gained energy ( heat for example) , the distance between atoms increases and give more kinetic energy to move faster , when they goes from solid to liquids then gases .

Answer 2

Atoms of a solid are vibrating in place. As the temp reaches the melting point atoms break away and are able to move around in the liquid. In a gas at boiling point they are able to break away from the liquid and fly about filling the whole container.

Answer 3

I'll take a stab at this.

The way it makes sense to me is that a material like say water is bonded to itself by electronic charges. As the material absorbs energy its temperature increases. The increase in energy increases the kinetic energy of the molecules. Which allows them to move around more and start breaking the electronic bonds.

In the case of water because of the geometry of the molecule liquid water is more dense than the solid form ice. If enough energy is absorbed the molecules become completely dissassociated and behave as if they have no bond to each other and bounce around as individual particles. (Gas)

Answer 4

A nuclear reaction is a replace to the atom's nucleus. Splitting an atom is replacing the nucleus, consequently, it is a nuclear reaction. Splitting an atom isn't a reason behind a nuclear reaction. this is the act of a nuclear reaction. the reason of nuclear reactions is very nearly continually instability contained in the nucleus of the atom. Atoms attempt to exist in a good state, it is why we've reactions, and expenditures, and so on. The atoms attempt to stabilize themselves.

Answer 5

speed is all. solid is slow.
when it it a gas the atoms are moving fast
