Question

In the kinetic theory of matter how does temperature affect the particles?

A - more temperature causes particles to form solids

B - Lower temperature causes a reduction in movement

C - More temperature causes a reduction in movement

D - Lower temperature causes a phase transition from a liquid to a gas

please help

Answer 1

B- Lower temperature causes a reduction in movement

Step-by-step explanation:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space
