Answer:

During a phase change no chemical bonds are broken. Atoms are not rearranged because a phase change is a physical change rather then a chemical change. However, intermolecular forces are almost entirely removed from the liquid since the intermolecular forces are what cause the liquid to be a liquid.

Step-by-step explanation:the nature of the intermolecular forces (IMF) will not change when the state changes from solid to liquid, however, the number of IMF changes.
