The Measure Of The Energy Of Motion Of Particles Of Matter. This in turn determines whether the substance exists in the solid, liquid, or gaseous state. The greater the motion of particles, the higher a substance’s temperature and thermal energy.
Thermal energy, or heat energy, is the transference of the kinetic energy of the molecules of matter from a warmer matter to a cooler one. You need to remember that the movement of the small particles can cause heat. Temp text 7.1 motion of particles (esbnr) the kinetic theory of gases (esbns).
