Internal energy is the total energy of all the particles within a
system
Internal energy is composed of kinetic and
potential
energy.
Match the energy type with its description:
Kinetic Energy ↔️ Energy due to motion
Potential Energy ↔️ Energy due to position
The kinetic energy of particles is calculated using the formula
KE
The kinetic energy of particles increases with
temperature
.
Higher temperature leads to faster particle
motion
Internal energy is composed of kinetic energy and
potential
Kinetic energy depends on the mass and
velocity
of particles.
Match the energy type with its primary factor:
Kinetic Energy ↔️ Velocity
Potential Energy ↔️ Intermolecular forces
Lowering the temperature of a system decreases the
kinetic energy
of particles.
In gases, particles have the lowest potential energy due to weak intermolecular
forces
Solids have high potential energy due to strong
intermolecular forces
.
During a phase transition from liquid to gas, potential energy
increases
Order the phase changes from lowest to highest energy absorption:
1️⃣ Melting
2️⃣ Boiling
Latent heat of fusion is the energy required to change a
solid
to a liquid.
The energy required for a change of state is calculated using the formula
mL
Kinetic energy is directly proportional to
temperature

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to
temperature
Potential energy depends primarily on
intermolecular forces
between particles.
Which phase has the highest potential energy due to strong intermolecular forces?
Solid
Changes in internal energy cause shifts in the states of matter, which include solid, liquid, and
gas
Arrange the following phase transition processes in order of increasing energy absorption:
1️⃣ Melting
2️⃣ Boiling
Latent heat of vaporization is the energy required to change

Specific latent heat is measured in joules per
kilogram
(J/kg).
Match the type of latent heat with its corresponding change of state:
Specific latent heat of fusion ↔️ Solid to liquid
Specific latent heat of vaporization ↔️ Liquid to gas
What are the two main components of internal energy?
Kinetic and potential energy
As temperature increases, particles move faster, leading to higher kinetic
energy
Potential energy in gases is high due to strong intermolecular forces.
False
What happens to particle motion as temperature increases?
It becomes faster
At high temperature, particles have high kinetic
energy
What is potential energy of particles dependent on?
Intermolecular forces
Particles in solids have the highest
potential energy
compared to liquids and gases
Arrange the phases of matter in order of decreasing potential energy
1️⃣ Solid
2️⃣ Liquid
3️⃣ Gas
Match the phase of matter with its intermolecular forces and potential energy
Solid ↔️ Strong forces, high potential energy
Liquid ↔️ Moderate forces, moderate potential energy
Gas ↔️ Weak forces, low potential energy
When heat is added to a substance, it increases either kinetic or potential
energy
Melting involves increasing both kinetic and
potential
energy
