Question

properties of matter unit test
which statement correctly describes the relationship between thermal energy and particle movement? (1 point)
as thermal energy increases, particle movement does not change.
as thermal energy increases, it is not possible to predict particle movement.
as thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement.
as thermal energy increases, there is less particle movement.

Explanation:

Thermal energy is related to the kinetic energy of particles. As thermal energy (which is a form of kinetic energy of particles in a substance) increases, the speed of particles increases. This means there is more particle movement.

Answer:

As thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement.
