The particle theory of matter states that all atoms are moving and that the amount of movement (or kinetic energy) of a substance determines its state of matter. Which of the following below are evidence of the particle theory? Please choose all correct responses.

Group of answer choices

The atoms in a solid are not moving.

Adding heat energy to a substance makes the particles move faster, therefore the temperature rises.

Particles of liquid water move faster than particles of ice.

All matter is made of atoms.

Adding heat energy to a substance makes the particles spread apart and take up more space.
