Question

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between thermal energy and particle movement?(1 point) Responses As thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement. As thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement. As thermal energy increases, particle movement does not change. As thermal energy increases, particle movement does not change. As thermal energy increases, there is less particle movement. As thermal energy increases, there is less particle movement. As thermal energy increases, it is not possible to predict particle movement.

Answer 1

The correct statement is: As thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement.

This reflects the fact that as thermal energy (or temperature) increases, the kinetic energy of the particles also increases, leading to greater movement.
