As the temperature increases the atoms move faster, so their KE increases.
Here is a story to illustrate what really happens!!
Suppose you sit a glass of water on a heater vent. The air coming out of the heater vent is hotter than the water in the glass.
The molecules in the hot air are moving fast (more KE). They collide with the molecules in the glass and make the molecules in the glass vibrate faster (more KE).
The vibrating molecules in the glass collide with the water molecules next to the interior surface of the glass, causing the water molecules to move faster. (more KE).
These water molecules hit other water molecules, making them move faster (more KE).
These speedy water molecules hit the glass of the thermometer, making the glass molecules vibrate faster (more KE), hitting the fluid in the thermometer, making the molecules of fluid move faster (more KE). which makes the fluid expand and move up the thermometer.
And after all this happens, you look at the thermometer sitting in the water and proclaim, "The water's temperature has increased!"
My point is the temperature did not cause the KE of the atoms to increase.
The other atoms that were moving faster and colliding with the water molecules caused the K.E. of the water molecules to increase!!

What happens to molecules as energy is added and the temperature increases?
what happens to molecules as energy is added the temperature increses
When temperature increases what happens?
The level of thermodynamic energy increases.
What happens to a gas's thermal energy as that gas's temperature increases?
It increases.
What happens to the internal energy of a system when work is done on it?
If the internal energy of the system increases the temperature will increase.
What happens to the thermal energy of a substance as its temperature increases?
When a sample of a substance absorbs thermal energy, its temperature rises.

When temperature increases what happens?
The level of thermodynamic energy increases.
What is the temperature is a measure of the average?
kenetic energy :)
What happens to a gas's thermal energy as that gas's temperature increases?
It increases.
What happens to the internal energy of a system when work is done on it?
If the internal energy of the system increases the temperature will increase.
What happens to the kinetic energy when temperature is changed?
When the temperature is increased the kinetic energy increases, and when it is decreased the kinetic energy decreases.
What happens to the thermal energy of a substance as its temperature increases?
When a sample of a substance absorbs thermal energy, its temperature rises.
What happens to molecules as their kinetic energy increases?
They move faster, number of collision increases,also the temperature increases.
How does potential energy turn to kenetic?
Potential energy turns into kinetic energy when an object at rest begins to move. As velocity increases, KE increases and PE decreases.
What kind of energy increases when temperature increases?
As temperature increases thermal energy increases.
Is heat the sum of kinetic energy then what is temperature?
Temperature is the average kinetic energy of atoms as they move in and out of a system and its surroundings. Heat is the kenetic energy that is transferred.
What happens to the movement of molecule when their temperature is raised?
They begin to move faster. The increased temperature increases the energy of the molecule.
