What happens to the oil molecules when it is heated?
Thermal decomposition
The sum of the kinetic and potential energy of the molecules of a substance?
thermal
What happens when energy changes form?
When energy changes form the molecules in the object become more or less densly packed. Thermal energy is also ALWAYS produced.
When a substance is heated what happens in mass volume and weight?
Both the mass and weight remain unchanged. However; generally; the volume increases due to the thermal expansion of the substance when heated up.
How is the state of mattr related to the amount of energy in a substance?
When thermal energy is added or removed, the state of matter changes to another solid that becomes liquid and the liquid becomes gas
What happens to the motion of molecules of matter when an object gains or loses thermal energy?
Increasing temperature means increased kinetic energy on the atomic or molecular level. Temperature of a given substance is the average kinetic energy of the particles of which that substance is composed.
What is thermal energy used for?
Thermal energy is the moment of atoms and molecules in a substance that causes heat.
What is the total kinetic energy of molecules present in the substance called?
THERMAL ENERGY
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 is the total energy of motion in molecules in a substance called?
THERMAL ENERGY
What is the total energy of a motion in the molecules of a substance called?
THERMAL ENERGY
What happens to the oil molecules when it is heated?
Thermal decomposition
When a substance changes state what happens to its thermal energy?
Changes the temperature of the substance
IS Thermal energy is kinetic energy or potential energy?
Thermal energy in a substance is kinetic energy of the molecules that make up the substance.
When molecules in matter spread out as it gains thermal energy?
Temperature is the chief factor in the expanding of molecules in a substance. Temperature creates randomness in a substance, because it increases each molecules energy.
What happens to thermal energy if the molicules speed up?
Thermal energy increases when molecules speed up.
The energy associated with the random motion of molecules or atoms within a substance is?
Thermal energy
