Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the effect of increasing temperature on the kinetic energy of particles in a substance?
  • Step 1: Understand that temperature is a measure of how hot or cold something is.
  • Step 2: Know that all substances are made up of tiny particles (like atoms or molecules).
  • Step 3: Realize that these particles are always moving, and their movement is called kinetic energy.
  • Step 4: When the temperature of a substance increases, it means that it is getting hotter.
  • Step 5: As the temperature increases, the particles in the substance move faster.
  • Step 6: Faster-moving particles have more kinetic energy.
  • Step 7: Therefore, increasing the temperature leads to an increase in the kinetic energy of the particles.
