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.

As the thermal energy of matter increases, its particles usually spread out, causing?
thermal expansion.
Does everything that move have kinetic energy?
Yes, it does. Kinetic energy is moving energy. An example is heat(thermal) energy, because the particles are vibrating and are very spread out.
What holds huge amounts of energy and their molecules are spread out as much as possible?
Gases.
What are the disadvantantage of ocean thermal energy?
Mainly that the useful energy is spread out quite thinly, so it requires large and expensive equipment to get a significant amount of useful power.
How does kinetic energy affect diffusion rate?
The greater the collision rate, the greater the diffusion rate. As the molecules of the substance that is diffusing are more concentrated, the molecules collide more. As they diffuse and spread apart, there are less collisions and diffusion slows down.

thermal expansion.
How a changed in thermal energy causes matter to change from one state to another?
An increase in thermal energy gives particles more kinetic energy, which causes them to vibrate more. As they vibrate more, the volume they take up increases.For example, when ice water is heated up, the molecules spread out, take up a greater space, and so the result is liquid H2O.The reverse scenario - when gaseous water ('steam') is cooled, due to a reduced level of thermal energy - is that the particles will vibrate less and the substance will contract. The steam will condense into liquid water.

What does a fluid mean?
A fluid, or a liquid, is difficult to explain but scientifically, it is a substance that has had its molecules spread out through the transfer of thermal energy so that they no longer maintain a permanent shape. In other words, when a substance is heated, its molecules move faster and spread out so that the substance will now form to a non-definite shape.
How a change in thermal energy causes matter to change from one state to another . give two examples?

As they vibrate more, the volume they take up increases.For example, when ice water is heated up, the molecules spread out, take up a greater space, and so the result is liquid H2O.The reverse scenario - when gaseous water ('steam') is cooled, due to a reduced level of thermal energy - is that the particles will vibrate less and the substance will contract.

What is diffusibility?
DIFFUSIBILITY The quality of being diffusible; capability of being poured or spread out.
When energy is added to molecules what happens to the substance?
they spread apart and move faster when energy is added.
Is gas molecules are less widely spread than solid molecule?
Gas molecules are spread apart farther than solid molecules. They also have more energy, making them move faster

Which state of matter has particles that are spread the further apart?
GAS in air and other gases, atoms or molecules have sufficient energy to separate from each other. The more energy that matter contains, the more freely its atoms or molecules move, because they are able to overcome the attractive forces that tend to hold them together.
Does everything that move have kinetic energy?
Yes, it does. Kinetic energy is moving energy. An example is heat(thermal) energy, because the particles are vibrating and are very spread out.
What hold huge amounts of energy and their molecules spread out as far as possible?
The Sun Holds Alot Of Energy
