Higher temperatures make the make microscopic atoms and molecules move A. slower B. in the same direction C. in opposite directions D. faster

When temperatures rise, the microscopic atoms and molecules gain energy, causing them to vibrate and move at increased speeds. This chaotic dance leads to a faster movement, making atoms and molecules fill a given space more effectively. So, the correct answer is D. faster! To visualize this, think of heating a pot of water. As the water gets warmer, the molecules zoom around more energetically, eventually creating those delightful bubbles when it reaches a rolling boil! It's all about energy in motion!
