Explain that energy transferred during a change of state changes particle potential energy rather than average kinetic energy.

Explain that energy transferred during a change of state changes particle potential energy rather than average kinetic energy. Method lens: First identify the measured quantity, then match the equation or particle idea to the command word. In Changes of state and specific latent heat, this means changes of state are explained by particle energy and arrangement. The answer should use the approved wording from Internal energy and energy transfers, include energy transfer, state change, and avoid drifting into another section of Particle model of matter. For revision, practise saying the exact objective aloud, then add the one calculation, particle movement, collision, graph, or practical detail that makes the statement true. A strong exam response for checkpoint 61 is specific to explain that energy transferred during a change of state changes particle potential energy rather than average kinetic energy and does not reuse a generic explanation from a neighbouring objective.
