In the kinetic theory of matter how does temperature affect the particles?

a - more temperature causes particles to form solids

b - lower temperature causes a reduction in movement

c - more temperature causes a reduction in movement

d - lower temperature causes a phase transition from a liquid to a gas

B- Lower temperature causes a reduction in movement

Explanation:

When heat is added to a substance, the molecules and atoms vibrate faster. As atoms vibrate faster, the space between atoms increases. The motion and spacing of the particles determines the state of matter of the substance. The end result of increased molecular motion is that the object expands and takes up more space

a 20-cm-long, cylindrical graphite (pure carbon) rod is inserted into an oxidizing atmosphere at 1145 k and 1.013 x 105 pa pressure. the oxidizing process is limited by the diffu- sion of oxygen counterflow to the carbon monoxide that is formed on the cylindrical surface.
