If we add enough thermal energy to a solid object, its particles move so fast that...

• They break their bonds and the object melts

• They form new bonds and the object freezes

When bonds break for a solid to melt...

• energy must be provided to break the bonds

• energy is released as the bonds break

Thermal energy always passes from....

• Objects at a lower temperature to objects at a higher temperature

• Objects at a higher temperature to objects at a lower temperature

• Objects with more heat to objects with less heat

At point 'X' the liquid has reached __________ ____________

Objects 'cool down' because....

• Their particles move slower on average

• The average KE of their particles is lower

• Heat particles are removed

If particles in a gas are cooled enough...

• They move faster

• They move slowly enough to break their bonds and the gas condenses

• They move slowly enough for bonds to form and the gas condenses
