Question

How is a solid substance affected by adding heat energy to it?

O A) Its mass increases.
OB) Its temperature decreases.
OC) The motion of its particles increases.
OD) The motion of its particles decreases.

Answer 1

D) the motion of its particles increases

Step-by-step explanation:

When heat is added to a solid substance, the particles in the solid gains kinetic energy and the motion of the particles increases.

Answer 2

Answer: The motion of its particles increases.

Explanation: When heat energy is applied to a solid substances its particles acquire kinetic energy. As the kinetic energy of the particles increases, the bonds between the particles begin to break, and the particles engages in a random motion. As the heat energy increases, their kinetic energy increases and consequently their is an increase in the motion of the particles.
