Question

Which of the following best describes the kinetic theory model?

a. all particles in matter eventually stop moving

b. energy changes have no effect on the state of matter

c. when particles in matter gain or lose energy , they change state

d. no matter how much energy is present particles never move

Answer 1

c. when particles in matter gain or lose energy , they change state

we know that for example, if you add heat (energy) to ice it would melt (change state) or if you freeze water (change state) it would become ice.

Answer 2

Answer c: "when particles in matter gain or lose energy , they change state"

Step-by-step explanation:

As energy is provided to the molecules of the substance in question, they acquire more speed or vibration, increasing their separation in the substance, which can become then a liquid , or a gas. The reverse path also happens as the particles give away energy.
