At higher temperatures

• particles in an object have less energy

  (kinetic energy decreases)

• particles in an object move faster

  (kinetic energy increases)

• a gas contracts

  (kinetic energy does not change)

As temperature rises ___________.

• an atom's kinetic energy stays the same

• an atom's kinetic energy increases

• an atom's kinetic energy decreases

• an atom's mass increases
