Formula

heating increases particle motion

Particles are packed in solids and spread out freely in gases.

Try this

Heat the substance until particles move freely as a gas.

Keep heating until particles spread out.

Learning Objectives

  • Heating increases particle motion.
  • Cooling decreases particle motion.
  • Particle arrangement changes by state.
