option 1:
higher temperature \\(\
ightarrow\\) more kinetic energy \\(\
ightarrow\\) more space between particles \\(\
ightarrow\\) higher volume
option 2:
higher temperature \\(\
ightarrow\\) less kinetic energy \\(\
ightarrow\\) less space between particles \\(\
ightarrow\\) higher volume
option 3:
higher temperature \\(\
ightarrow\\) less kinetic energy \\(\
ightarrow\\) more space between particles \\(\
ightarrow\\) lower volume
option 4:
higher temperature \\(\
ightarrow\\) more kinetic energy \\(\
ightarrow\\) less space between particles \\(\
ightarrow\\) lower volume
Relate temperature to kinetic energy
An increase in temperature increases the average kinetic energy of the gas particles.
Relate kinetic energy to particle spacing
As particles move faster with more kinetic energy, they collide more forcefully and frequently, pushing each other further apart and creating more space between particles.
Relate particle spacing to volume
More space between the gas particles results in an expansion, which corresponds to a higher volume.
