Which of the following statements is false?Temperature and thermal energy of the molecules are not linked.At a higher temperature, the average thermal energy of the molecules is higher.The average thermal energy of the molecules is lower at a lower temperature.At a lower temperature, the average thermal energy of the molecules is lower.
Question
Which of the following statements is false?Temperature and thermal energy of the molecules are not linked.At a higher temperature, the average thermal energy of the molecules is higher.The average thermal energy of the molecules is lower at a lower temperature.At a lower temperature, the average thermal energy of the molecules is lower.
Solution
The false statement is: "Temperature and thermal energy of the molecules are not linked."
This is false because 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. Therefore, the thermal energy of a substance increases with an increase in temperature and decreases with a decrease in temperature.
