Heat is the intrinsic energy of a piece of matter. If it is least the body is solid, liquid if it is more & gas if it is most. The motion of the molecules in the body determines it. Mostly the molecules due to attractive forces & ordering in space are tightly bound in a solid giving it the rigidity & shape. When they acquire sufficient energy to move about freely, yet held within the body (due to interaction of attractions that makes the surface of the liquid) it is liquid. But when the motion & velocity is such as to break the molecules free from each other it becomes a gaseous body. Heat is the measure of average kinetic energy of the molecules.

When a substance changes state what happens to its thermal energy?
Changes the temperature of the substance
The addition or loss of thermal energy changes the arrangement of the particles during what?
a change of state
How are states of matter and changes in energy related?
When thermal energy is added or removed, the state of matter changes to another eg. solid becomes liquid and liquid becomes gas.
Does thermal energy increase during a phase change?
Thermal energy may increase or decrease during a phase change. It depends on which "direction" the change is going. In a phase change between a solid and liquid, as in the case of water, the solid water (ice) will reach 0 °C by absorbing thermal energy. It's temperature will be rising as it absorbs heat. But at the transition temperature, it must still absorb some heat to "make the transition" from ice at 0 °C to water a 0 °C. This thermal energy is the enthalpy of fusion. Thermal energy will have increased during the phase change. Another way make the point is that water at 0 °C will have more thermal energy than an equal mass of ice at 0 °C. If you guessed that the opposite is true, you'd be correct. The changes in thermal energy apply to "regular" phase changes between solids, liquids and gases. (There are other types of phase change that don't involve thermal energy or the change of state from solid, liquid or gas.) A link can be found to the enthalpy of fusion for you to investigate further into this one type of transition. That link is below.
Describe potential energy?
Potential energy is a fundamental concept in physics and plays a crucial role in understanding the behavior of physical systems and the conservation of energy. When the conditions or positions of objects change, potential energy can be converted into other forms of energy, such as kinetic energy or thermal energy, as objects move or undergo changes in their state.
When a substance changes state what happens to its thermal energy?
Changes the temperature of the substance
What 3 changes of state absorb thermal energy?
Melting, evaporation, and sublimation are changes of state that absorb thermal energy. During these processes, the particles in a substance gain energy to break intermolecular bonds and overcome attractive forces between them, resulting in an absorption of thermal energy.
The addition or loss of thermal energy changes the arrangement of the particles during what?
a change of state
Explain what happens when we suply heat and energy to water till it change its state What is this eat energy called?
When water has heat and energy it changes energy. The energy that it changes to is called thermal.
What is freezing thermal energy in science?
Freezing is the process by which a substance changes from a liquid state to a solid state by removing thermal energy. This removal of thermal energy causes the particles in the substance to slow down and come closer together, forming a solid structure.
What happens to thermal energy when matter changes from one state to another?
When matter changes state, thermal energy is either absorbed or released. For example, when a solid melts to become a liquid, thermal energy is added to break the bonds holding the solid structure together. On the other hand, when a gas condenses to become a liquid, thermal energy is released as the gas molecules slow down and come closer together.
What does thermal energy do to matter?
Thermal energy increases the kinetic energy of the particles within matter, causing them to vibrate and move faster. This in turn leads to an increase in temperature and can cause changes in state (e.g. melting, boiling).
What does a change form a liquid to a solid involve in thermal energy?
When a liquid changes to a solid, thermal energy is released from the substance. This energy is used for the particles to slow down and become more ordered into a solid state. The release of thermal energy is known as heat of fusion.
When a substance is what it gains thermal energy?
When a substance gains thermal energy, its temperature increases as the particles within the substance move faster and have greater kinetic energy. This increased thermal energy can lead to changes in the physical state of the substance, such as melting or boiling if enough energy is absorbed.
Which of the following changes of state releases thermal energy A. Melting C. condensation B. Sublimation D. evaportion?
A. Melting is the change of state that releases thermal energy. When a substance melts, it absorbs thermal energy from its surroundings to overcome the intermolecular forces holding its particles together.
During which state of matter does thermal energy of a substance increase?
The thermal energy of a substance increases when it changes from a solid state to a liquid state, or from a liquid state to a gas state. This is because the molecules in the substance gain more kinetic energy and move more freely as the substance transitions between states of matter.
How are states of matter and changes in energy related?
When thermal energy is added or removed, the state of matter changes to another eg. solid becomes liquid and liquid becomes gas.
