How do particles in a solid substance change when energy is added?

The particles themselves don't change, but their behavior does. If you are simply heating a solid, but not to the point of a phase change, the particles remain locked in place but they vibrate faster. If you heat a solid to the point that it goes through a phase change, the particles start to vibrate fast enough to break the intermolecular bonds and keep them broken enough to allow the particles to slide past and around one another.

What has to be added to a substance to cause a phase change?
Heat energy must be added to or subtracted from a substance to cause a phase change.
Heat is what in motion?
As energy is added to a substance, the particles that make up the substance vibrate faster. This is what causes substances to change state (solid to liquid to gas). As the particles move faster, the structure changes.
What happens when energy is taken away from matter?
The substance's particals will start slowing down and come closer together. As kinetic energy is removed from a substance, it will do the opposite as when kinetic energy is added to a substance.
What happens to particles inside of a solid liquid or gas when energy is added compared to when energy is removed?
When energy is added the particles inside the substance vibrate more. Conversely, the vibrate less when energy is removed.
What is a measure of the energy of motion of the particles in a substance?
Particle motion increases as energy (like heat) is added. The motion slows as energy leaves. Temperature is a measure of this change in particle motion.
What is a measure of the energy of motion of particles in a substance?
Particle motion increases as energy (like heat) is added. The motion slows as energy leaves. Temperature is a measure of this change in particle motion.
How will a substance change if energy is added to the liquid at 20 degrees Celsius?
The substance will get hawter
How will the substance change if energy is added to the liquid at 20 degrees celsius?
the substance will get hotter.
Why does evaporation require that heat energy be added to a substance?
Heat is energy the substance needs to change it's state of matter (the more energy a substance has the higher it's temperature)
Why may the temperature of a substance change when energy is added?
Thermal energy of a substance is determined by the movement of the molecules and the potential energy of the arrangement of molecules. Heat transfer will stop when thermal equilibrium is reached. It depends upon the substance how long that takes.
The particles of a substance will move faster if what is added on to them?
If heat is added to it.
How does the behaviour of particles change ass energy is added to particles?
When heat is added to a particle, it will get more exited and move faster. The more heat you add, the faster the particles will move, and the further form one another they will be. Therefore, adding energy to the particles will also increase the spaces between them.
