Question

Identify the results of a substance losing energy. Select all that apply.

A. The temperature of the substance will increase.
B. The substance will change from the gaseous state to the liquid state.
C. The temperature of the substance will decrease.
D. The substance will change from the solid state to the liquid state.

Answer 1

B and C

When particles get colder and lose energy, they begin to move less and less. Gas particles move the most, with solid particles moving the least. So, it makes sense that if the substance loses energy and gets colder, it will also transform from gaseous state to liquid state since the particles are also moving slower as a result of it losing energy.
