Question

Which of the following best explains what happens when the kinetic energy of particles in a liquid state decreases?

A. They move so slowly that the particles are no longer held together, resulting in the formation of a gas.
B. They move fast enough to overcome the forces of attraction holding them together and become a gas.
C. They move more slowly, resulting in the formation of a solid.
D. They move so quickly that the particles ionize and become plasma.

Answer 1

I believe the correct response is C.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. When the kinetic energy of particles in a liquid state decreases, the molecules move more slowly, resulting in the formation of a solid. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
