it will increase or decrease depending on the states.

from solid --> liquid or liquid --> gas it is positive and endothermic, and thermal energy is increasing

from liquid --> solid or gas --> liquid it is negative and exothermic, and thermal energy is decreasing

How is the thermal energy of a substance related to it physical state?

The thermal energy of a substance determines its state, since thermal energy, aka internal energy, is the energy the molecules in the substance have. If the energy exceeds the force holding the substance together the substance undergoes a phase change.The physical state of a substance is related to its temperature, the measure of thermal energy. The substance can change states depending on the temperature, e.g. boiling.

What kind of change happens when the composition of a substance does not change?

A physical change occurs when the composition of a substance does not change. This means the substance retains its chemical identity but may undergo a change in its physical properties like shape, size, or state of matter. Examples include melting, freezing, boiling, or dissolving.

What happens to energy during a change of state why is it a physical change?

Its released or adsorbed. Its "physical" because no new substance(s) is produced.


Is thermal expansion and contraction a physical change?

Yes, thermal expansion and contraction are physical changes. They result from the change in temperature of a material, causing its molecules to either spread out (expansion) or come closer together (contraction), without altering the chemical composition of the substance.


How is a physical change related to a substance physical property?

a physical change is a change in any physical property of a substance, not in the substance itself
