it changes state therefore it changes from a solid to a liquid and then to a gas you can also observe these changes by looking at a chart hope this answer helped! haha :0

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.


When the kinetic energy of atoms increases thermal energy increases or decreases?

Thermal energy (temperature) is the measurement of kinetic energy of atoms moving in a substance, therefore, as the speed (kinetic energy) of these atoms increases, thermal energy increases as well.


What happens to the thermal energy of a material when radiation is absorbed in a material?

The thermal energy increases.


What happens to a gas's thermal energy as that gas's temperature increases?

It increases.


What happens to the thermal energy of a liquid as it vaporizes?

It increases


What happens to thermal energy if the molicules speed up?

Thermal energy increases when molecules speed up.


When a substance changes state what happens to its thermal energy?

What happens when the thermal energy of a solid increases?

It either gets hotter, or it melts.


What happens to the temperature of a substance when you prevent gain or loss of thermal energy?

If you define "thermal energy" as heat, and the "substance" is not affected by any energy that increases or decreases its temperature, by definition, nothing will happen to its temperature. If the substance reacts to electromagnetism, light or other radiation, it may increase or decrease its temperature, depending on the nature of the substance and its reaction to those energies. Note: See Discussion question.


What describes the thermal energy of particles in a substance?

the higher the temperature: the more the movement of energy in the particle. the lower the temperature: the less the movement of energy in the particle.
