Question

In order for a liquid particle to become a gas it must: (choose all that apply)

1.overcome the attractive forces of other liquid particles
2.overcome the attractive forces of other gas particles
3.gain energy
4.lose energy

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

In liquids, the molecules are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. Due to which they are able to slide past each other. Hence, they have medium kinetic energy.

On the other hand, in gases, the molecules are held by weak Vander waal forces. Hence, they have high kinetic energy due to which they move rapidly from one place to another leading to more number of collisions.

Hence, gases are able to expand more rapidly as compared to liquids.

Therefore, we can conclude that in order for a liquid particle to become a gas it must:

• overcome the attractive forces of other liquid particles.

• gain energy.

Answer 2

1.overcome the attractive forces of other liquid particles

3.gain energy

Step-by-step explanation:

A phase change from liquid to solid occurs when heat energy is added to the system. The heat energy gives the liquid molecules more kinetic energy and the attractive forces between the particles are overcome. When the molecules of liquid gains sufficient energy, they are free to move in all directions that they want, thus becoming gases.
