Solids have the least, then liquids, then gases. This is because a lot of thermal energy is required to break the intermolecular forces holding substances together, In a solid, the bonds are strong, however thermal energy is used to patrially break these bonds, melting the solid. The liquid then needs further thermal energy to completely break these bonds to form gases

How is particle movement related to thermal energy?

Particle movement is directly related to thermal energy. As thermal energy increases, particles gain kinetic energy and begin to move faster and more erratically. This increased movement contributes to the overall temperature of a system and can lead to changes in state, such as melting or boiling.


How is energy related to particle movement?

when a particle moves it rubs against other particle's causing thermal energy


A net force acts on a particle this net force is not equal to zero is this sufficient information to conclude that the kinetic energy of the particle changes?

Yes. If the net force is not zero, the particle accelerates. Accelerate means the velocity changes,if the velocity changes the kinetic energy of the particle changes.


When a particle is not moving what type of energy does it have?

When a particle is not moving, it still has potential energy due to its position in a force field. This potential energy can be gravitational, elastic, or related to other forces acting on the particle.


How intermolecular forces contribute to the defining characteristics of solids liquids and gases?

How can a solid be melted using the particle theory?

According to particle theory, a solid can be melted by increasing the temperature, which adds energy to the particles. As the temperature rises, the particles vibrate more vigorously, overcoming the forces that hold them in fixed positions. Once enough energy is supplied, these particles can break free from their organized structure, transitioning the solid into a liquid state. This process illustrates the changes in particle movement and arrangement during melting.


What the average amount of energy of motion of each particle of a substance called?

The average amount of energy of motion of each particle of a substance is called kinetic energy. It is related to the speed and mass of the particles.


How would you describe the change in the arrangement of particle as heat energy and temperature increase?

they get less dense, more spaced, get more active


Why isn't temperature measured in Joules like kinetic energy?

Because temperature is not an energy. It is related to energy, but the relation is somewhat complicated. Roughly, the temperature is related to the AVERAGE energy of each particle (not just kinetic energy - a particle may have different kinds of energy). It turns out to be more practical to have a separate unit for temperature.


When particle have more energy do they move fast or slow?

When particles have more energy, they move faster. This is because energy is directly related to the speed of particles in a system. High energy levels correspond to higher speeds of particle motion.


What does temperature tell us about atoms?

Temperature is related to the average energy per particle.
