Arranged in layers that can slide over each other
2. When a substance undergoes a phase change from liquid to gas, what happens to the kinetic energy of its particles?
It decreases
It increases
It remains constant
It is converted to potential energy only
3. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average energy of its particles.
4. In the particle model, particles in a solid are held in fixed positions by strong forces.
5. The process by which a solid turns directly into a gas without passing through the liquid phase is called .
6. Particles in a liquid have more kinetic energy than particles in a gas at the same temperature.
