Question
A student is creating two models to show the effect of thermal energy on the movement of particles in a liquid. She draws the first model of a liquid sample. Her model is shown.
The original model of the liquid sample shows a close-up view of particles that are closely packed together in a random arrangement. The model after thermal energy has been added or removed is empty.
How should the student complete her unfinished model?
A.
She should draw particles far apart and moving freely to show thermal energy being added to a liquid.
B.
She should draw particles far apart in a fixed position to show thermal energy being removed from a liquid.
C.
She should draw particles close together in a fixed position to show thermal energy being added to a liquid.
D.
She should draw particles close together and moving freely to show thermal energy being removed from a liquid.

The correct option is:
**A. She should draw particles far apart and moving freely to show thermal energy being added to a liquid.**
When thermal energy is added to a liquid, the particles gain energy and move faster, which causes them to spread apart and move more freely. This represents the effect of increased thermal energy on the movement of particles in a liquid.
