Which statement correctly describes the relationship between thermal energy and particle movement?(1 point)

Question

As thermal energy increases, there is less particle movement.
As thermal energy increases, it is not possible to predict particle movement.
As thermal energy increases, particle movement does not change.
As thermal energy increases, particle movement does not change.

Answer 1

The first statement is incorrect because as thermal energy increases, particle movement actually increases. The second statement is also inaccurate; while it is true that thermal energy can affect particle movement, there is a general trend that can be predicted. The third statement is incorrect as thermal energy does influence the movement of particles.

None of the statements provided are correct. The accurate statement would be: As thermal energy increases, particle movement increases.
