Read the following statements and select the ones that correctly describe the relationship among energy, temperature, particle interactions, and the states of matter.

A. The average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance is greater if the substance is cold
than if the substance is warm.

B. As the temperature of a gas increases, the pressure exerted by the gas decreases.

C. A substance with a definite volume but no definite shape is a liquid.


D. The particles in a solid move much more slowly than the particles in a gas.

E. A substance in its liquid state will have a lower temperature than that same substance in its
solid state.

F. At the same temperature, if one substance is a solid and another is a liquid, the force of
attraction between particles must be greatest in the solid.
