Temperature is a measure of the average energy of particles in a thermodynamic system. It determines how particles move and interact.
Higher temperature corresponds to more energetic particle motion.
Description
Temperature reflects the kinetic energy of particles in a system. Higher temperatures correspond to more energetic motion, which influences phase changes and physical behavior.
Temperature is a key variable in thermodynamics and determines the state of matter.
Properties
- related to particle energy
- influences state of matter
- governs thermodynamic behavior
