How does temperature relate to the motion of a substance's particles?

• The faster the particles of a substance are moving, the higher that substance's temperature.

• The slower the particles of a substance are moving, the higher that substance's temperature.

• When the particles of a substance stop moving, the temperature can be measured.

• When particles in a substance heat up, the particles change state.

Describe what happens to particles in water as it evaporates in terms of energy and motion.

• The particles slow down and the water changes state

• The particles speed up and energy is transferred from the environment to the substance.

• The particles speed up and energy is transferred from the substance to the environment.

• The particles cause the water to change state and energy is transferred to the air.
