    Study Guide
    Topics to Study:
    ● Thermal energy
    ○ Definition
    ○ Effect of adding/removing thermal energy on state of matter and temperature of
    a substance
    ● Phase change diagrams

    Review Questions
    1. Describe the motion and spacing/arrangement of molecules in a solid, liquid, and gas.
    a. solid>tightly packed, vibrate in place
    b. liquid>some distance between particles, particles slide over one another
    c. gas>particles are far apart, freely moving

    2. Label the images as either solid, liquid, or gas by double clicking on the drawing below and
    dragging the terms to the appropriate location.

    3. What is thermal energy? Is it a type of kinetic or potential energy?


    >

    4. Define temperature.
    >

    5. Imagine you have liquid water at 25 C. What will happen to the speed and the distance
    between the molecules as heat is added and the temperature increases to 75 C?
    >
    6. What is absolute zero?
    >
