Question

Which statement correctly describes the relationship between thermal energy and particle movement?(1 point) Responses 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. As thermal energy increases, particle movement does not change. As thermal energy increases, it is not possible to predict particle movement.

Answer 1

The correct statement that describes the relationship between thermal energy and particle movement is: "As thermal energy increases, there is more particle movement."

This is because thermal energy is directly related to the kinetic energy of particles; as the thermal energy of a substance increases, the particles move more rapidly.
