Questions and Answers
What happens when a substance is cooled?
What happens when a substance is cooled?
- The atoms/molecules gain energy and move faster.
- The atoms/molecules lose energy and move slower. (correct)
- The volume of the substance increases.
- The collisions between atoms/molecules become stronger and more frequent.
What does temperature measure?
What does temperature measure?
- The average speed of atoms/molecules (correct)
- The volume of the substance
- The distance between atoms/molecules
- The strength of collisions between atoms/molecules
How does heating a substance affect the volume?
How does heating a substance affect the volume?
- The collisions between atoms/molecules are less frequent.
- The atoms/molecules expand and the volume decreases.
- The volume of the substance increases as atoms/molecules spread further apart. (correct)
- The atoms/molecules get closer together (compress) and the volume decreases.
