Gas particles do not respond to heat the same way people do. Do you agree with this statement? Why? Provide an example in your explanation.

Answer:

Yes, I agree with the statement that gas particles do not respond to heat the same way people do.


When gas particles are heated, they increase in kinetic energy and move faster, causing the gas to expand and its pressure to increase. This behavior is explained by the kinetic theory of gases. In contrast, when people are heated, they may feel uncomfortable, sweat, or even suffer heatstroke, but they do not expand or experience a change in pressure.
