What happens to the kinetic energy of particles when thermal energy is removed from a liquid?

Back

The kinetic energy slows down, causing the particles to have a stronger attraction and bringing them closer together.

How does thermal energy affect the particles of matter?

Back

Thermal energy or heat causes particles of matter to speed up.

Which state of matter has the lowest energy level?

Back

Solid.

Front

What is matter?

Back

Matter is any object that has mass and takes up space.

Front

What is the relationship between temperature and kinetic energy in particles?

Back

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of particles increases.

What occurs during the phase change from liquid to solid?

Back

During the phase change from liquid to solid, the kinetic energy of the particles decreases, and they become more closely packed.

Front

What are the three main states of matter?

Back

The three main states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

Front

How does the arrangement of particles differ in solids, liquids, and gases?

Back

In solids, particles are tightly packed and vibrate in place; in liquids, particles are close but can move past each other; in gases, particles are far apart and move freely.

Front

What is the effect of increasing thermal energy on a solid?

Back

Increasing thermal energy on a solid can cause it to melt into a liquid.
