Ben wants to model how the motion of particles changes with temperature. He considers water in an iron pot. Ben draws a model to show how the water particles and iron particles move at room temperature. Then, he draws a second model to show how the water particles and iron particles move as the pot of water is heated. How should Ben’s second model differ from the first?

Answer:

In the second model, it should be clearly shown that the particles of the water are farther apart and moving faster

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because as water heats up, (as with any substance), the particles separate and move much faster. Therefore, in the second model, the particles should be farther apart and it should be shown that the particles are moving faster.

I hope this helps :)
