As thermal energy increases, there is less particle movement.

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

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

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

As thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement.

This means that as the thermal energy of a substance increases, its particles move more vigorously.
