Question

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between thermal energy and particle movement?(1 point)
Responses

As thermal energy increases, it is not possible to predict particle movement.
As thermal energy increases, it is not possible to predict particle movement.

As thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement.
As thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement.

As thermal energy increases, there is less particle movement.
As thermal energy increases, there is less particle movement.

As thermal energy increases, particle movement does not change.

1 answer

The correct statement is:

As thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement.

This reflects the principle that as thermal energy (or temperature) increases, particles move more rapidly and have more kinetic energy.
