Question

The total thermal energy of a system depends jointly on the temperature, total number of in the system _______________, and the _______________of the material. *

1. Molecules/State

2. Molecules/Heat

3. Matter/Heat

4. Atoms/State

Answer 1

Molecules/State

Step-by-step explanation:

We know from the kinetic molecular theory that matter is made up of molecules. These molecules are in constant motion at various velocities and energies.

The total thermal energy refers to the total kinetic energies of these particles. It depends on the temperature of the system, the energies of the molecules present in the material and the arrangement of the object's molecules (states of matter).
