Question

When a gas particle changes phase into a liquid particle:

A. the particle loses energy
B. the particle gains energy
C. the particle has no change in energy
D. the change in energy depends on the type of gas

Answer 1

Answer:B

Step-by-step explanation:

• The movement in particles is faster than the particle movement in a solid and the attractive forces are much weaker.
• A gas is something with no definite volume and no definite shape. Gas particles are far apart and move rapidly and freely. The attractive forces between gas particles are very weak or absent.
• When a liquid is heated, the particles are given more energy. They start to move faster and further apart. At a certain temperature, the particles break free of one another and the liquid turns to gas. This is the boiling point.
• Particles in gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. Solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.
