Temperature IS the average speed of movement of the particles molecules that make up an object. The more heat you add to an object, the faster the molecules move vibrate. There are devices thermometers that indirectly measure this speed, and thus report the temperature.

∙ 14y agotemperature is described as the randomness of a substances particles/molecules. For example, water, in its solid form (i.e. ice -273.17degrees F-->32degrees F) has slower moving molecules/particles, which creates a form of order throughout the substance which doesn't allow them to displace themselves, or move around. However in its liquid form (i.e. water 32degrees F-->212degrees F) the molecules are moving slightly faster, and therefore in a slightly more disorganized state. Which is why water can change its shape. Water in the form of gas (i.e water vapor 212+ degrees F) has molecules/particles which are in such a random and disorganized state that the molecules rarely tough one another, causing gas to be able to change shape and volume.

∙ 10y agoTo put it simply, they move faster. Increasing the temperature means you increase the kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, so that means they move faster and they collide with each other harder and with more frequency. This means there is a direct relationship between kinetic energy/temperature with reactivity and pressure.

∙ 9y agoTemperature is directly proportional to movement of particles in a substance. The greater the temperature, the more the particles move.

∙ 14y agothe hotter/warmer the temprature.....the warmer the paritcles= the faster they move//// that means if a solid is hot the particles move fast enough to become a liquid:)

by incresing the temparature solids easily dissolve or dissociate

When heat is being supplied to a solid then what does the heat energy do to the particles of solid?
Adding heat energy will usually increase the temperature. At the level of the individual particles, the particles will vibrate faster.
What phase of matter has particles that do not move?
There is no phase of matter that has particles that do not move UNLESS the material is a SOLID at a temperature of ABSOLUTE ZERO.
Do the number of particles in an object affect its thermal energy but not its temperature?
TRUE
What happens to the particles of a solid as the temperature increases?
Nothing until it hits its melting point. Once it hits its melting point, its particles begin to move more freely, and the solid turns into a liquid.
How does adding energy to matter by heating it affect the energy of its particles?
Adding heat will do one of the following, or both: * The temperature of the substance increases. The individual particles move faster; their kinetic energy increases. * The substance changes its state (for example, when ice melts, it changes from solid to liquid). The potential energy of the particles increases.
When particles in a solid slow down what does it become?
The temperature is lowered.
How does temperature affect liquids?
when it is cold temperature it forms a solid
How does energy of particles affect temperature?
If temperature is higher, kinetic energy is more

How does temperature affect the volume of a solid liquid and gas?
the higher the temperature, the higher the volume of a solid - michelle strafer
What will affect the ammount of solid needed to make a saturated solution?
the amount of solid there is and the temperature might also affect the amount of a solid that dissolves.
What is the temperature at which attractive force trap particles and a solid begins to form?
Freezing
Which factors will increase the solubility of most solid solutes?
strong attraction of solute particles to solvent particles
The particles of a solid are linked together in a network If the temperature of the solid increases the particles gain energy If they gain enough energy the particles can break free of the network?
