G2.5 WHAT HAS A TEMPERATURE?
LINKS
Temperature is a feature of a sample of particles as a whole.
Individual particles do not have a temperature (in the same way that individual particles do not have a state).
We can talk about hot or cold samples but not hot or cold particles.

For individual particles we can talk only about their energy.
