would you expect the motions of particles in all states of matter to increase as the temperature is increased?

Question

if so, why? im confused!

Answer 1

yea because the temperature is increasing so therefore it should increase as well

not so sure though sorry ♥♥

Answer 2

Yes.
Temperature can almost be defined by the amount of movement of particles of a given substance. But not quite.
Because, when a given substance is heated until it reaches the temperature to change state (e.g. when water reaches 100 degrees C, its boiling point) it takes additional heat to change it to the next state. Liquid water at 100 C has less heat, and less molecular motion, than steam at 100 C.
At Absolute Zero is defined as the temperature at which there is no molecular movement, or in other words no heat. Increased heat literally means increased molecular movement, which also means increased temperature.

Answer 3

yes because the molecules become excited as the temperature increases. and entropy is directly proportional to temperature. why, because that's the law of nature =P
