The diagram shows changes of state between solid, liquid, and gas. The atoms of a substance lose energy during a change of state. After the change, the atoms are close together but are able to slide past one another.

A diagram has a triangle at center with gas on top, liquid on bottom right, solid on bottom left. An arrow from gas to liquid is labeled O, and an arrow from liquid to gas is labeled N. An arrow from solid to liquid is labeled P, and an arrow from liquid to solid is labeled Q. An arrow from solid to gas is labeled L, and an arrow from gas to solid is labeled M.
Which arrow represents the change of state described above?

L
N
O
P

Answer:

O and Q

Step-by-step explanation:

Why O: Because gas has a lot of energy and movement and doesn't have a definite shape or volume, it can move as much as it likes, but when it condenses, it becomes a liquid, and a liquid has a definite volume, but no definite shape, and has less energy and movement.

Why Q: Because liquid has a definite volume, but no definite shape, and a good amount of energy and movement, but when it freezes it loses its energy and movement, and becomes a solid, and a solid has a definite volume and shape and the particles can barely move enough to vibrate

I hope you at least understand my concept. :)
