Answer» All particles have energy, and the energy varies depending on the temperature the sample of matter is in, which determines if the substance is a SOLID, liquid, or GAS. Solid particles have the least amount of energy, and gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the AVERAGE kinetic energy of the particles. A change in PHASE may occur when the energy of the particles is changed. There are spaces between particles of matter. The average amount of empty space between molecules gets progressively larger as a sample of matter moves from the solid to the liquid and gas phases. |
