What happens when energy is taken away from matter?
The substance's particals will start slowing down and come closer together. As kinetic energy is removed from a substance, it will do the opposite as when kinetic energy is added to a substance.
Why may the temperature of a substance change when energy is added?
Thermal energy of a substance is determined by the movement of the molecules and the potential energy of the arrangement of molecules. Heat transfer will stop when thermal equilibrium is reached. It depends upon the substance how long that takes.
What happens to particles inside of a solid liquid or gas when energy is added compared to when energy is removed?
When energy is added the particles inside the substance vibrate more. Conversely, the vibrate less when energy is removed.
When heat is added to or removed fron the substance and the temperature remains the the smae where is the thermal energy going?
It is going into melting. The object is so focused on melting it doesn't pay any attention to anything else!
Is Freezing a Thermal Energy Added?
No, freezing is a result of losing thermal energy (heat).

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

Thermal energy added to a substance that is not changing state causes the substances temperature to do what?
To increase.
What happens to temperature as solid gold turns to a liquid?
The temperature at which liquid gold solidifies is the same as its melting point, 1064 °C. Generally, the melting point and freezing point for a pure substance are the same. If thermal energy is added to the substance, it will melt. If thermal energy is removed from the substance, it will freeze.
What happens to particles inside of a solid liquid or gas when energy is added compared to when energy is removed?
When energy is added the particles inside the substance vibrate more. Conversely, the vibrate less when energy is removed.
Can thermal energy be added without an increase in temperature?
No, thermal energy is entirely energy added for heat.

Is the transfer of thermal energy heat?
Yes. Thermal means heat, so thermal energy is the energy that is produced by heat. Thus, when the heat is added to a system, thermal energy is said to have risen, and if heat is removed, it implies that thermal energy is decreased.
What is enthalpy of fusion vaporization?
Enthalpy of fusion/vaporization is the amount of energy added to a system to melt of boil a substance or the amount of energy removed from a system to condense or freeze a substance.
Is Freezing a Thermal Energy Added?
No, freezing is a result of losing thermal energy (heat).
How is the temperature of a substance affected as it undergoes a change of state?
Thermal energy basically is heat. Thermal energy (heat) can change a solid to a liquid state is called melting. The change from a liquid to a solid is freezing. The change from a liquid to a gas is known as vaporization. The opposite of vaporization is condensation. So yeah, thermal energy affects any state of a substance.
