What happens to particles when they are heated?

• They speed up and spread out
• They slow down and compress
• They stop moving
• They move closer together and speed up

• True

• False

In our Amplify story, the liquid methane lake...

• EVAPORATED

• FROZE

• CONDENSED

• SUBLIMATED

When the liquid methane lake evaporated...

• the kinetic energy increased and the molecules moved further apart.

• the kinetic energy decreased and the molecules moved further apart.

• the kinetic energy increased and the phase changed to solid methane.

• the kinetic energy decreased and the phase change that occurred was melting.

In our Amplify story, the methane lake did not evaporate right away because...

• evaporation of any liquid always takes a long time to occur.

• the kinetic energy from the Sun quickly overcame the molecular attraction in the methane.

• the methane has high molecular attraction, so it took a lot of energy from the Sun over several years to overcome the attraction.

• the lake was in winter up until 2007, so it could not get enough energy from the Sun to vaporize.

Which is the best definition of "molecular attraction"?

• Molecules that get close together and bond to make a new molecule.

• The pull between molecules that is always the same for a substance.

• The way that all molecules in a solid have the same pull or attraction, no matter what the substance is made of.

• How fast or quickly molecules move in a substance.
