Step-by-step explanation:
As kinetic energy is the energy obtained by the molecules of a substance due to their motion.
Hence, more is the motion between the molecules more will be kinetic energy of the substance.
So, when a liquid is cooled then, kinetic energy of its molecules decreases due to which molecules tend to come closer to each other. As a result, there occurs an increase in the force of attraction between the molecules leading to decrease in space between the molecules.
Thus, we can conclude that when a liquid is cooled, the kinetic energy of the particles decreases. The force of attraction between the particles increases, the space between the particles decreases, and the matter changes its state to solid.
