State what happens to the speed of gas particles when the temperature of a gas is increased.

• The speed of gas particles decreases.

• The speed of gas particles increases.

• The speed of gas particles remains the same.

• The speed of gas particles becomes zero.

Describe the movement of gas particles.

• Random and rapid motion

• Vibrating

• No movement at all

• Circular motion

Describe how the particle arrangement changes as a material changes from a solid into a liquid.

• Particles move from a fixed position to sliding past each other in no fixed arrangement

• Particles remain in a fixed position

• Particles get smaller

• Particles do not change

Describe how the particle arrangement changes as a material changes from a liquid into a gas.

• Particles move from a closely spaced arrangement to a random arrangement with vastly increased space between them.

• Particles decrease in size and increase in number.

• Particles change from solid directly into gas without becoming liquid.

• There is no change in the arrangement of particles.
