Thermal Energy (Amplify)

What is stability in terms of thermal energy?

• Stability refers to when a system maintains a consistent temperature over time.

• Stability is the ability of a system to absorb heat without changing temperature.

• Stability indicates the maximum temperature a system can reach before failure.

• Stability is the fluctuation of temperature within a system.

How does thermal energy affect molecular motion?

• Higher thermal energy decreases molecular motion, causing molecules to move slower.

• Higher thermal energy increases molecular motion, causing molecules to move faster.

• Thermal energy has no effect on molecular motion.

• Higher thermal energy causes molecules to become stationary.

What is radiation?

• Radiation is the transfer of thermal energy through electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight.

• Radiation is the process of cooling down an object by removing heat.

• Radiation is the emission of particles from a radioactive substance.

• Radiation is the movement of air in the atmosphere.

What is conduction?

• Conduction is the transfer of thermal energy through direct contact between materials.

• Conduction is the process of heat transfer through fluids without direct contact.

• Conduction refers to the movement of energy through electromagnetic waves.

• Conduction is the transfer of energy through the movement of particles in a gas.

What is the effect of thermal energy on states of matter?

• Increasing thermal energy can change a substance from solid to liquid (melting) or from liquid to gas (evaporation).

• Thermal energy has no effect on the states of matter.

• Decreasing thermal energy can change a substance from gas to liquid (condensation) or from liquid to solid (freezing).

• Thermal energy only affects gases, not solids or liquids.

What is the relationship between temperature and thermal energy?

• As temperature increases, the thermal energy of the molecules also increases, causing them to move faster.

• Temperature has no effect on thermal energy.

• As temperature decreases, thermal energy increases.

• Thermal energy is independent of temperature.

How do molecules behave in different states of matter?

• In solids, molecules are loosely packed and move freely; in liquids, they are tightly packed and vibrate in place; in gases, they are close but can move around.

• In solids, molecules are tightly packed and vibrate in place; in liquids, they are close but can move around; in gases, they are far apart and move freely.

• In solids, molecules are far apart and move freely; in liquids, they are tightly packed and vibrate in place; in gases, they are close but can move around.
