Question

How does an increase in thermal energy affect the temperature of each state of matter?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

When thermal energy is added to a substance, its temperature increases, which can change its state from solid to liquid (melting), liquid to gas (vaporization), or solid to gas (sublimation). ... When the pressure exerted on a substance increases, it can cause the substance to condense.

Answer 2

Gases have the highest kinetic energy of any state of matter and thus occur at the highest temperatures. Increasing the temperature of a gas in an open system will not further change the state of matter because the gas molecules will only become infinitely further apart.
