Matter is made of...

• decomposing atoms (net zero energy) that don't move and are repelled by each other

• vibrating atoms (kinetic energy) that move faster when heated and slower when cooled

• static atoms (potential energy) that are always separate and never interact

• vibrating atoms (potential energy) that move slower when heated and faster when cooled
