А Molecular energy will decrease, and the substance will change from a gas to a liquid.
B
Molecular energy will increase, and the substance will change from a gas to a liquid.
C
Molecular energy will decrease, and the substance will change from a liquid to a gas.
D
Molecular energy will increase, and the substance will change from a liquid to a gas.

Answer 1

А Molecular energy will decrease, and the substance will change from a gas to a liquid.

Step-by-step explanation:

The right choice is that molecular energy will decrease for the system and the substance will change from a gas to a liquid.

• When thermal energy is removed from a system, molecular energy reduces.
• Thermal energy is a form of kinetic energy
• The energy causes an increase in the average speed of the molecule in a substance.
• When the energy is removed, the molecular speed reduces and this causes a gas to condense to liquids.
