When thermal energy is added to a substance, the substance's particles move:

• More rapidly at an increased distance from each other.

• More rapidly with less distance between each other.

Thermal energy always moves:

• From a high temperature object to a lower temperature object.
• From a lower temperature object to a higher temperature object.
• From an object with lower kinetic energy to an object with higher kinetic energy.
• From an object of higher mass to an object of lower mass.
