How is the temperature of a gas related to the thermal energy of its particles? 

A - As the temperature increases, the thermal energy of the particles increases.

B - As the temperature decreases, the thermal energy of the particles increases.

A

Charlie and his family went on a camping trip. While on his trip, Charlie's family found an old, fallen tree near their campsite and chopped the log up for firewood. They used the wood to light a campfire where they roasted marshmallows. Give me one P and one C change that occurred.

Chopping the wood was a physical change as evidenced by the change in size and shape, while burning the wood is a chemical change as evidenced in energy, color, and form.
