Question

Which option most accurately explains relationships between phases, energy and mobility of the matter?

Molecules making up water vapor have less energy and are less mobile than ice.

Molecules making up water vapor have less energy and are more mobile than ice.

Molecules making up water vapor have more energy and are more mobile than ice.

Molecules making up water vapor have more energy and are less mobile than ice.

Answer 1

Molecules making up water vapor have more energy and are more mobile than ice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking through the options, this has to deal with water vapor molecules and ice molecules,

Water vapor is a gas and ice is a solid.

Gas molecules are mobile than solid molecules. This means the first and last options are wrong.

Also, gas molecules are energetic than solid molecules.

The correct option is;

Molecules making up water vapor have more energy and are more mobile than ice.
