Question

Which statement is an example of macroscopic energy creating a microscopic result? (1 point)
The chemicals in fireworks oxidize quickly, producing a popping noise.
The bonds that hold the nuclei of two atoms are broken when the atoms collide, creating heat.
The excited electrons in neon gas drop to a lower energy level, creating visible light.
Heat is applied to a solid, causing its molecules to move quickly.

Answer 1

"Heat is applied to a solid, causing its molecules to move quickly."

Reason: Heat is a macroscopic input of energy that produces a microscopic effect — increased molecular kinetic motion.
