When you add energy to matter What happens?

What heppens to matter when you add thermal energy?

When you add thermal energy to matter, either the temperature will increase, or there will be a change in the state (phase) of matter, for example when ice melts.


When you add thermal energy to a system what will happens to the kinetic energy of the molecules within the system?

if you add a thermal energy to a system then it will happens nothing because u dont no anything


What happens to gas when you add thermal energy?

In this case the volume increase, the density is lower.


What happens to a gas when you add thermal energy?

In this case the volume increase, the density is lower.


What is the easiest to add energy to matter?

You can raise an object (potential energy), make it move (kinetic energy), or add heat to it (heat energy, a.k.a. thermal energy).


What happens to water when you add thermal energy to it?

It will either get hotter or evaporate, or perhaps a bit of both.


What happens if we add thermal energy to a liquid?

It will get hotter. Eventually it may evaporate.


Can the state of matter change when you add or take away energy?

Yes, particularly if you add thermal energy. At its least energetic, matter is in the solid state. Add some more energy, it transitions to the liquid state. Then more and it's a gas. Finally, at its most energetic, it is in the plasma state.


What happens to the amount of kinetic energy when heat is added to a pure phase of matter?

The kinetic energy increases as you add more heat.


What happens to the behavior when you add energy to them?

Behavior is not a substance or a matter in this case. Therefore it is not possible to add energy to it. However, there are some behaviors that often come out stronger than others.


Are Heat energy and thermal energy opposite?

Thermal energy is the energy contained in a system at a specific temperature a combination of kinetic and potential of the particles. Heat Energy is similar as Thermal energy but when you add heat energy the Temperature of the system may decrease on increase.
