What happens when energy is transferred to a substance?
What happens when energy is transferred to a substance?
- The atoms/molecules themselves expand
- The substance gains energy and the atoms/molecules move faster (correct)
- The substance loses energy and the atoms/molecules move slower
- The volume of the substance decreases
What happens to the volume of a substance when it is heated?
What happens to the volume of a substance when it is heated?
- The atoms/molecules themselves expand, but the volume remains the same
- The volume decreases as the atoms/molecules get closer together
- The volume increases as the atoms/molecules spread further apart (correct)
- The volume remains the same
What happens when a substance is cooled?
What happens when a substance is cooled?
- The atoms/molecules lose energy and move slower (correct)
- The temperature of the substance remains the same
- The atoms/molecules gain energy and move faster
- The volume of the substance increases
