molecules are moving rapidly. The cold object has lower H and smaller S. When the objects are placed next to each other, heat is transferred from the hotter object to the colder one. At the same time, the kinetic energy of the molecules in the colder object increases, resulting in more disorder. The kinetic energy of the molecules in the hotter system, however, decreases, and the molecules become slightly more ordered. This transfer continues until both objects are at thermal equilibrium, and the values of G are equal.
