Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
When heat is removed/released, the temperature of matter decreases and the particles ____
A
speed up and move farther apart
B
speed up and move closer together
C
slow down and move farther apart
D
slow down and move closer together
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When a substance is heated, it gains thermal energy. Therefore, its particles move faster and its temperature rises. When a substance is cooled, it loses thermal energy, which causes its particles to move more slowly and its temperature to drop.

Detailed explanation-2: -Since kinetic energy is one of the forms of internal energy, the release of heat from an object causes a decrease in the average kinetic energy of its particles. This means that the particles move more sluggishly and the temperature of the object decreases.

Detailed explanation-3: -Adding energy (heating) atoms and molecules increases their motion, resulting in an increase in temperature. Removing energy (cooling) atoms and molecules decreases their motion, resulting in a decrease in temperature.
