Define kinetic energy and thermal energy. Describe what happens to each as the temperature of a substances increases.

Answer:

All matter is made up of particles that are constantly moving. The motion of the particles results in kinetic energy. The part of total internal energy that can be transferred is thermal energy. As temperature increases, the particles in a substance move faster and have greater kinetic and thermal energy.

Describe the conditions necessary for sublimation to occur.

Answer:

Sublimation occurs because the atoms in a solid must gain enough energy to form a gas without passing through the liquid state. Low air pressure and large amounts of energy, often in the form of heat, allow the atoms to move fast enough to overcome the attractive forces between them.
