The temperature may increase. It may also remain unchanged; in which case the energy is used to change the state of matter (for example, melting a solid, converting it to a liquid).

Is raising the temperature of atoms the same as adding energy?

Raising the temperature of atoms involves adding energy to them. The temperature of an atom is a measure of the average kinetic energy of its particles, so increasing the temperature means increasing the energy of the atoms.


Is temperature a form of energy?

Temperature is not a form of energy, but a measurement of energy (specifically, heat energy). You can't add temperature to a substance, because every substance already has a temperature, whether it be at -50o C or 900o C. However, you can add heat to change the temperature.


The addition of heat energy to a system always causes the temperature of that system to increase.?

Yes. Adding heat will increase temperature.


How does adding or subtracting heat affect temperature?

Adding heat energy usually warms a substance, and subtracting heat energy usually cools the substance. heat energy only moves from a hot substance to a cool substance. Example: a pan on the stove could be room temperature, but once you put it on the flame, the heat from the flame transfers to the cooler pan, heating it up.Additional answerIn some cases adding heat energy does not raise the temperature but moves the substance from one phase to another. For example, if you add heat energy to ice you melt it and it becomes water at the same temperature. If you continue adding heat energy then, of course, that water then gets warmer.


How can air be warmed without adding heat energy?

Air can be warmed without adding heat energy by compressing it. When air is compressed, its molecules are pushed closer together, which increases the air's temperature. This temperature increase is due to the conversion of mechanical energy from the compression process into thermal energy.


Why does adding heat cause particles to vibrate faster?

Heat is a form of energy, you are adding energy to the system, this causes the particles to vibrate faster.


What is an explanation of heat?

Heat is a form of energy... noticeable only by the temperature differences


What thermal energy?

Thermal energy is also known as heat energy. It is a form of energy which travels due to the temperature gradient.


Define heat energy?

Heat energy is the transfer of thermal energy between objects due to a difference in temperature. It flows from an object at a higher temperature to one at a lower temperature until thermal equilibrium is reached.


How does temp effect the speed of molecules?

Temperature is the average kinetic energy of a set of molecules. Think about that: From physics, you know that the kinetic energy of an object is proportionate to its mass, and the square of its velocity. By adding heat to a system, you are adding energy. That energy is manifested as temperature.


Form of energy that an object has due to its temperature?

heat is the energy that raises temperature


Does heat form with energy?

Heat is a form of energy that results from the motion of particles at the molecular level. When energy is transferred to an object, it can increase the kinetic energy of its particles, leading to a rise in temperature and the production of heat.
