When thermal energy is removed from particles, the correct response is:
**The particles’ kinetic energy decreases.**
As thermal energy is removed, the motion of the particles slows down, which results in a decrease in their kinetic energy and consequently a decrease in temperature.
**The particles’ kinetic energy decreases.**
As thermal energy is removed, the motion of the particles slows down, which results in a decrease in their kinetic energy and consequently a decrease in temperature.
