Question

Temperature is the measure of the ........... kinetic energy of the atoms in a substance.

Answer 1

temperature is measured in Kelvin degrees, then this number is directly proportional to the average kinetic energy of the molecules. Heat is a measurement of the total energy in a substance.

Answer 2

Answer:

Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms in a substance.

Explanation:

Temperature is a measure of the average heat or thermal energy of the particles in a substance. Since it is an average measurement, it does not depend on the number of particles in an object.  It is always measured in Kelvin.

Temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy of the molecules

Molecules have three types of kinetic energy

1-Translational

2-Rotational

3-Vibrational

In solids temperature is the measure of average vibrational kinetic energy of molecules
