How do molecules behave in different states of matter?

Back

In solids, molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in place; in liquids, they are close but can move around; in gases, they are far apart and move freely.

What is the relationship between temperature and thermal energy?

Back

As temperature increases, the thermal energy of the molecules also increases, causing them to move faster.

What is stability in terms of thermal energy?

Back

Stability refers to when a system maintains a consistent temperature over time.
