Answer:

D. The kinetic energy is greater after a substance changes from a

solid to a liquid

Step-by-step explanation:

During a phase change from solid to liquid, the particles making up the mobile becomes more mobile and as a result there is an increase in kinetic energy of the system.

  • Kinetic energy is the energy accrued due to the motion of a body.
  • In a melting process where solids turn to liquid, there is an increase in kinetic energy.
  • When randomness of a system increase, kinetic energy also increases.
  • From liquid to gas and gas to plasma increases kinetic energy.
  • In the other way round, the kinetic energy reduces.
