Temperature IS the average speed of movement of the particles molecules that make up an object. The more heat you add to an object, the faster the molecules move vibrate. There are devices thermometers that indirectly measure this speed, and thus report the temperature.

Temperature affects the particles in a solid by increasing their kinetic energy, causing them to vibrate more vigorously. This increased movement may lead to the particles overcoming the forces holding them in place, ultimately resulting in the solid changing phase to a liquid.
temperature is described as the randomness of a substances particles/molecules. For example, water, in its solid form (i.e. ice -273.17degrees F-->32degrees F) has slower moving molecules/particles, which creates a form of order throughout the substance which doesn't allow them to displace themselves, or move around. However in its liquid form (i.e. water 32degrees F-->212degrees F) the molecules are moving slightly faster, and therefore in a slightly more disorganized state. Which is why water can change its shape. Water in the form of gas (i.e water vapor 212+ degrees F) has molecules/particles which are in such a random and disorganized state that the molecules rarely tough one another, causing gas to be able to change shape and volume.
To put it simply, they move faster. Increasing the temperature means you increase the kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion, so that means they move faster and they collide with each other harder and with more frequency. This means there is a direct relationship between kinetic energy/temperature with reactivity and pressure.
Temperature is directly proportional to movement of particles in a substance. The greater the temperature, the more the particles move.
the hotter/warmer the temprature.....the warmer the paritcles= the faster they move//// that means if a solid is hot the particles move fast enough to become a liquid:)
The temparature changes the state of matter such as solid to liqid or solid to gases
by incresing the temparature solids easily dissolve or dissociate
Increased in temperature leads to an increase in the kinetic energy of the particles.
Decreasing the temperature slows down the motion of the particles, i.e. decreases the kinetic energy.
Yes, the number of particles in an object does affect its thermal energy, as thermal energy is directly proportional to the number of particles. However, the number of particles does not affect its temperature, as temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.
Temperature and mass of the particles affect the kinetic energy of particles. As temperature increases, the particles move faster, increasing their kinetic energy. Similarly, particles with higher mass have greater kinetic energy compared to particles with lower mass at the same temperature.
The particle model of matter describes matter as being made up of tiny particles (atoms and molecules) that are in constant motion. Changes in temperature or pressure affect the motion of these particles. With an increase in temperature, the particles move faster, leading to a change in state (e.g., solid to liquid to gas). Changes in pressure can also affect the arrangement and movement of particles, causing changes in state.
In an expansion of a solid, the particles are able to move further apart due to an increase in temperature. This causes the solid to expand in all directions. The particles themselves do not change, but their positions relative to each other do.
When heat is supplied to a solid, the heat energy causes the particles within the solid to vibrate more rapidly. This increase in vibration disrupts the regular arrangement of particles, leading to the solid expanding as the particles move further apart.
