1 answer
The correct response is:
As the substance’s thermal energy increases, the kinetic energy of its particles increases, and vice versa.
Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance, so an increase in thermal energy corresponds to an increase in the average kinetic energy of those particles.
