Thermal contraction happens because...

• Particles at higher temperature move with more kinetic energy, so they take up more space.

• Particles at lower temperature don't move with as much kinetic energy, so they take up more space.

• Particles at higher temperature move with less kinetic energy, so they take up less space.

• Particles at lower temperature don't move with as much kinetic energy, so they take up less space.

Which properties do solids have?

• definite shape and volume

• no definite shape and a definite volume

• no definite shape and no definite volume

What properties do liquids have?

• definite shape and volume

• no definite shape and a definite volume

• no definite shape and no definite volume

What properties do gases have?

• no definite shape and no definite volume

A phase change is a chemical reaction.

• True

• False

Answer explanation

The phase changes, but the substance itself doesn't change! (The melting and vaporization of the wax is not a chemical change, but the "burning" of the wax is a chemical change into smoke)
