Solution

The true statement is: "At a lower temperature, the average thermal energy of the molecules is lower."

Here's why:

  1. Temperature and thermal energy are indeed linked. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance, which is a part of its thermal energy.

  2. At a lower temperature, the average thermal energy of the molecules is not higher. It's actually lower because the molecules are moving less and have less kinetic energy.

  3. At a higher temperature, the average thermal energy of the molecules is not lower. It's actually higher because the molecules are moving more and have more kinetic energy.

  4. Therefore, the statement "At a lower temperature, the average thermal energy of the molecules is lower" is true.
