Given the question: Q: What is the measure of kinetic energy of the particles in matter? Read this paragraph and choose the correct option from the provided answers: Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in matter. In everyday usage, temperature indicates a measure of how hot or cold an object is. Temperature is an important parameter in chemistry. When a substance changes from solid to liquid, it is because there was an increase in the temperature of the material. Chemical reactions usually proceed faster if the temperature is increased. Many unstable materials (such as enzymes) will be viable longer at lower temperatures. Choices: - energy - precipitation - friction - temperature A:
The answer is:
temperature
