Just like grease when it is cold it is more solid, and the more you heat it the more liquid it gets until it becomes smoke (gas) these are the transitions between the four states of matter as you add each stage of energy levels: earth(solid)->melts->water(liquid)->evaporates->wind(gas)->burns->fire(plasma) Each molecule has its own properties due to its shape, mass, etc. that make the three points of transition at different teperatures Called the point of: -Melting -Boiling -Combustion Just like when you move you have energy, particles that gain energy will move as well, if it is too crowded for the amount of energy stored (just like you in a crowd) it will try to move away from the others (the energy will propel because of the knocking into the crowd [mass of molecules in the oil]) this means the more energy the less density with the same mass as it expands with the molecules pushing away from each other

The higher the temperature the faster the reaction, therefore there are more collisions between the particles of the substances per second. This is because there is more energy from the higher temp.

The effect of the temperature on the viscosity of gas is that the higher the temperature is, the further apart the particles are and the more quickly they move. This makes the liquid have a higher flow rate. If the temperature of the liquid is lower, than the particles become closer together and don't move as quickly. This causes the flow rate to become slower.

temperature effects all fluids' viscosity. As the temperature increases, heat, a tpe of potential energy, increases. When this potential energy is given to fluids, they start to move about more and spread apart. This allows more room for the fluids to move past each other and flow, ultimately lowering the fluid's viscosity.

AS TEMPERATURE INCREASES, THE VISCOSITY OF GAS INCREASES. IT IS BECAUSE OF THE KINETIC ENERGY OF THE GAS MOLECULES INCREASES WITH TEMPERATURE AND THE VISCOSITY IS DEFINED AS THE FORCE PER UNIT AREA APPLIED DUE TO THE VELOCITY GRADIENT THROUGH THE FILM THICKNESS.
