What happens when energy is transferred to a substance?

Atoms/molecules move faster (correct)

Atoms/molecules move slower

The substance expands

The substance shrinks

How is temperature related to the speed of atoms/molecules?

Higher speed means lower temperature

Temperature is independent of speed

Speed has no impact on temperature

Higher speed means higher temperature (correct)

What happens to the volume of a substance when it is warmed?

The volume remains constant

The volume increases (correct)

The atoms/molecules shrink

The volume decreases

When a substance is cooled, what happens to the collisions between atoms/molecules?

Collisions become weaker and less frequent Signup and view all the answers

Match the following statements with the correct explanation:

Heating a substance = Energy is transferred to the substance Cooling a substance = Energy is transferred from the substance Faster atoms/molecules = Higher temperature Slower particles = Lower temperature Signup and view all the answers

Match the following effects with the correct process:

Atoms/molecules move faster = Substance is warmed Collisions are stronger and more frequent = Substance is warmed Atoms/molecules move slower = Substance is cooled Collisions are not as strong and less frequent = Substance is cooled Signup and view all the answers

Match the following outcomes with the correct cause:

Atoms/molecules spread further apart = Volume of substance increases Atoms/molecules get closer together = Volume of substance decreases Signup and view all the answers
