What happens when energy is transferred to a substance?
What happens when energy is transferred to a substance?
- The temperature of the substance decreases
- The atoms/molecules lose energy and move slower
- The atoms/molecules gain energy and move faster (correct)
- The volume of the substance decreases
What is the relationship between the speed of atoms/molecules and temperature?
What is the relationship between the speed of atoms/molecules and temperature?
- There is no relationship between the speed of atoms/molecules and temperature
- The faster the atoms/molecules move, the lower the temperature
- The slower the atoms/molecules move, the higher the temperature
- The faster the atoms/molecules move, the higher the temperature (correct)
What happens to the volume of a substance when it is warmed?
What happens to the volume of a substance when it is warmed?
- The volume increases due to the atoms/molecules moving faster and spreading further apart (correct)
- The volume decreases due to the atoms/molecules moving closer together
- The volume decreases due to the atoms/molecules moving slower
- The volume remains the same because the atoms/molecules do not expand or shrink
What happens to the collisions between atoms/molecules when a substance is cooled?
