Choose whether the statement below is true or false, the motion of the particles in a substance and the temperature of that substance are directly related is that true or false them as the energy and temperature of a substance increase the movement of the particles decreases true or false the state of matter of a substance can be changed by decreasing or increasing the temperature true or false. The particles and a substance are closest together when there is less energy true or false.

1 answer

Let's evaluate each statement one by one:

  1. "The motion of the particles in a substance and the temperature of that substance are directly related."

    • True: Generally, as the temperature of a substance increases, the motion of its particles also increases.
  2. "As the energy and temperature of a substance increase, the movement of the particles decreases."

    • False: As the energy and temperature of a substance increase, the movement of the particles actually increases.
  3. "The state of matter of a substance can be changed by decreasing or increasing the temperature."

    • True: Changes in temperature can transition a substance between solid, liquid, and gas phases.
  4. "The particles in a substance are closest together when there is less energy."

    • True: At lower energy (and lower temperature), particles in a substance tend to be closer together, as seen in solids.

So the answers are:

  1. True
  2. False
  3. True
  4. True
