They move around faster or slower depending on the type of change.
Thermal energy (also note that it is not always added, sometimes given out).
Energy is either absorbed or emitted. The energy can be absorbed or emitted in different forms, but usually, some sort of heat energy is involved.
These are phase changes - All the energy that is added at this time is used to change the phase of the substance.
During a phase change.
Heat energy must be added to or subtracted from a substance to cause a phase change.
heat is added
To change the phase of a system from liquid to gas, the total system energy must be increased (heat added) to the point where every atom or molecule has sufficient energy to escape the liquid system.
The added energy is used in the phase change to break intermolecular bonds.It is used for the phase change. ~ APEX
When energy is added during a phase change the energy is used to break molecular bonds.

energy is either absorbed or released during a phase change
Basically what it comes down to is the substance that is left behind during the phase change (say the liquid when it is changing to a vapor) has a lower internal energy than it had before the phase change started. To maintain the substance at its original temperature, an equivalent amount of energy must be added to make up for the loss of internal energy due to the phase change. (Conservation of Energy)The energy added in this case is heat, which in turn causes more molecules of the substance to change phases and lowers the internal energy & the process repeats. This is why the temperature remains constant as you add heat to a substance during a phase change. Once the phase change is completed the added heat will eventually cause the temperature to rise in the new phase of the substance. Hope this explanation helps. It's kind of hard to explain without a basic knowledge of thermodynamics.
stays the same
Yes, but not the temperature.
