Understand how changes in thermal energy affect particle motion, temperature, and state change - Middle School Physical Science

Card 0 of 20

Question

Removing thermal energy from a substance will:

Answer

The answer is all of the these because removing thermal energy will change a substance's state, temperature, and particle motion.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

The process of adding thermal energy to a solid and transforming it directly to a gas without first turning it to a liquid is called:

Answer

The answer is sublimation. Sublimation is the process of adding thermal energy to a sold and transforming it directly to a gas without first turning it to a liquid.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

An increase in volume due to heating is called:

Answer

The answer is thermal expansion. Thermal expansion happens when substances are heated and the particles speed up and take up more space.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

Cooling causes particles in substances to:

Answer

The answer is "slow down." When a substance cools it loses its thermal energy which causes the particles to slow down.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

The particles in the image on the far left most likely:

Answer

The answer is "belong to a solid and are vibrating in place." The image shows that the particles are 'stuck together' in a solid configuration. These particles do have kinetic energy so they are vibrating and not completely lacking movement.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

The image shows the particles of a substance in its three states. The kinetic energy of the particles increases as:

Answer

The answer is "both as it changes from a solid to a liquid and when it changes from a liquid to a gas." As the temperature of a substance increases, so does the kinetic energy of particles increases.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

In order to change a substance from a solid to a liquid, you would have to:

Answer

The answer is "add thermal energy" because the state change from a solid to a liquid requires heat.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

In order to change a gas into a liquid, you would have to:

Answer

The answer is "remove thermal energy." In order to change a gas to a liquid, you would have to cool it down, thus removing thermal energy.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

The constant motion of particles in substances gives them their kinetic energy. We measure this kinetic energy as:

Answer

The answer is "temperature." Temperature is by definition, the measure of the kinetic energy of a substance.

Compare your answer with the correct one above

Question

The particles in a gas:

Answer

The answer is "all choices are correct" because the particles in a gas share all of these characteristics.

Compare your answer with the correct one above
