What happens to the thermal energy the particles in steam have when it comes into contact with your skin?

In general, when a hot object comes in contact with a cold object, heat (thermal energy) is transferred from the hotter to the colder object.

What happens to the particles of matter when thermal energy is added to it?
When thermal energy is added to particles of matter, it causes the particles to move faster and emit more energy.
What happens to particles in matter when you remove thermal energy from them?
They stop moving and stop producing energy.
What is the transfer of thermal energy though direct contact of particles?
It is called conduction.
Is melting thermal energy or movement in particles?
Thermal
Define Thermal Energy.?
Thermal Energy: Substance that has energy from the movement of its particles.
What happens to the particles of matter when thermal energy is added to it?
When thermal energy is added to particles of matter, it causes the particles to move faster and emit more energy.
What happens to particles in matter when you remove thermal energy from them?
They stop moving and stop producing energy.
What happens is energy is taken away from matter?
When thermal energy is taken away from matter particles move more slowly. When thermal energy is added to matter particles move faster.
What is the transfer of thermal energy though direct contact of particles?
It is called conduction.
What happens to the particles when matter gets hotter?
The particles move faster. Thermal energy is a measure of kinetic energy of molecules.
What Explain what happens to the average kinetic energy, thermal energy, and temperature of a substance when the particles in the substance slow down.?
The particles in a substance slow down when the average kinetic energy of the particles decreases. As the average kinetic energy decreases, the internal energy decreases, and so the thermal energy decreases. As the thermal energy of the substance decreases, the temperature decreases.
What happens to particles when thermal energy is given to them?
They move faster.
Does temperature contain any particles?
Temperature is a measure of the thermal energy of a system...thermal energy cannot be said to be a particle, but particles may have thermal energy.
Is melting thermal energy or movement in particles?
Thermal
Define Thermal Energy.?
Thermal Energy: Substance that has energy from the movement of its particles.
What energy is moved by particles?
thermal energy
What is it called the total kinetic energy of the particles in a substance?
internal energy measures the total energy of the particles in a substance
