When a substance gains heat, its molecules move more vigorously. When a substance loses heat, its molecular action decreases.
Conceptually and quantitatively, flow of energy during change of state effects motion of atoms and molecules in chemical and physical processes.
<u>Phase change -</u>
Now, the motion of a molecule can be increased by the following;
- Adding heat through a temperature difference
- The absorption of one of the five forms of energy
- Temperature increases according to specific heat of the substance
