What is thermal energy a measure of?
The total kinetic energy of particles in a substance.
The potential energy stored in a substance.
The amount of heat transferred between objects.
The energy produced by chemical reactions.
Fast-moving particles have
less thermal energy and higher temperatures than slow-moving particles.
Less thermal energy and lower temperatures than slow-moving particles.
more thermal energy and lower temperatures than slow-moving particles.
more thermal energy and higher temperatures than slow-moving particles.
What happens when there is an equal amount of energy that is transferred to and from two objects?
The temperature of the objects will continue to rise.
The temperature of the objects will stay the same.
The temperature of the objects will continue to cool.
The temperature of one object will cool, while the other will rise.
Thermal energy that is transferred from a warmer object to a cooler object is called ________.
evaporation
heat
motion
temperature
What usually happens to a liquid when its particles gain enough energy to break away?
The liquid begins to cool.
The liquid begins to condense.
The liquid begins to evaporate.
The liquid begins to sublimate
What happens as the particles of a liquid substance move into a gas state?
The liquid substance boils.
The liquid substance expands.
The liquid substance sublimates.
The liquid substance condenses.
At high temperatures, how do the particles of matter behave?
Particles of matter remain stationary and do not interact.
Particles of matter move slowly and rarely collide.
Particles of matter condense and form solid structures.
Particles of matter move rapidly and collide frequently.
Which of the following has the most thermal energy?
D: a bottle full of hot water
A: a cup full of boiling water
B: a bucket full of ice water
C: a pond full of warm water
Why does a cup of boiling water have more kinetic energy than a bowl of water, but less thermal energy?
The speed of molecules in the cup is slower, and there are more total molecules.
The speed of molecules in the cup is faster, and there is the same number of total molecules.
The speed of molecules in the cup is faster, but there are fewer total molecules.
The speed of molecules in the cup is slower, but there are fewer total molecules.
What happens to the kinetic energy of particles as temperature increases?
The kinetic energy of particles increases.
The kinetic energy of particles remains constant.
The kinetic energy of particles fluctuates randomly.
The kinetic energy of particles decreases.
How does thermal energy relate to the state of matter?
Thermal energy has no effect on the state of matter.
Thermal energy only influences the color of substances.
The state of matter is determined solely by pressure, not thermal energy.
Thermal energy affects the movement of particles, determining the state of matter (solid, liquid, gas).
Which state of matter typically has the least thermal energy?
Solid
Gas
Liquid
Plasma
Which of these is an example of a substance depositing?
molten metal cooling from a liquid into a solid
water droplets transforming into hail during precipitation
water vapor transforming into crystals in the atmosphere
carbon dioxide solid (dry ice) transforming into carbon dioxide gas
Why does it take very little energy to change helium from a liquid into a gas?
Helium atoms have a very low melting point.
Helium atoms have a very high boiling point.
Helium atoms have very strong attractions.
Helium atoms have very weak attractions.
When a substances changes from a gas state to a solid, it ______.
attracts
deposits
freezes
contracts
What determines the amount of thermal energy that is needed in order for a substance to change state?
the source that is being used to heat a substance
the difference in energy transferred between two substances
the strength of attraction between particles in a substance
the number of atoms and molecules in a sample of a substance
Substances that sublimate
change from a solid to a gas.
do not enter a liquid state at all.
do not melt when they gain thermal energy.
all of the above
Why do different substances have different melting and boiling points?
The melting point and boiling point of a substance changes with the surface area of the substance.
The melting point and boiling point of a substance change with the amount of the substance.
The attraction between particles in substances varies, so the melting and boiling points vary.
The attraction between particles and substances changes, so the melting and boiling points change.
The temperature at which water changes from a liquid state to a solid state is _____.
-1,000°C
0°C
32°C
100°C
What usually happens to a solid when its particles gain enough energy to break away?
The solid begins to boil.
The solid begins to evaporate.
The solid begins to melt.
The solid begins to sublimate.
At high temperatures, the particles of matter
move very slowly.
move very quickly.
clump together.
move in circular patterns.
