Choose whether each statement below is true or false the motion of the particles in a substance and the temperature of that substance are directly related is that true or false as the energy and temperature of a substance increased the movement of the particles decreases is that true or false the state of matter of the substance can be changed by decreasing or increasing the temperature is that true or false and the particles in a substance are closest Together when there is less is that true or false

1 answer

Let's evaluate each statement one by one:

  1. The motion of the particles in a substance and the temperature of that substance are directly related.
    True. As the temperature of a substance increases, the motion (kinetic energy) of its particles generally increases as well.

  2. As the energy and temperature of a substance increased, the movement of the particles decreases.
    False. As the energy and temperature of a substance increase, the movement of the particles actually increases.

  3. The state of matter of the substance can be changed by decreasing or increasing the temperature.
    True. Changing the temperature can cause a substance to change its state (e.g., from solid to liquid or from liquid to gas).

  4. The particles in a substance are closest together when there is less.
    False. The particles are closest together in the solid state of matter, which occurs at lower energy levels (and generally lower temperatures), not when there is less.

So, the final evaluation is:

  1. True
  2. False
  3. True
  4. False
