How does an increase in temperature affect the particles in a solid?
The particles remain stationary and do not change position
The particles lose energy and vibrate less, causing them to move closer together
The particles transform into a liquid state
The particles gain more energy and vibrate more, causing them to move further apart
What happens to the particles in water when it is heated?
The particles lose energy and move slower, causing the liquid to contract and eventually turn into a solid.
The particles gain energy and move faster, causing the liquid to contract and eventually turn into a solid.
The particles gain energy and move faster, causing the liquid to expand and eventually turn into a gas.
The particles gain energy and move faster, causing the liquid to stay the same and not change state.
What happens to the particles in a water vapour when they are cooled gently?
The particles condense into water.
The particles evaporate into water vapour.
The particles freeze into ice.
