A farmer has a bucket of fertilizer that will help her plants grow. She

followed instructions on the fertilizer bucket, which say to change the phase from a
liquid to a solid before adding it to the plants. What happened to the molecules of
fertilizer when it changed phase?

Step-by-step explanation:

The molecules of the fertilizer after the phase change are more reactive compared to when in solid phase.

  • These molecules in liquid are more free to move about and not fixed as in a solid.
  • This causes the liquid fertilizer to react faster compared to the solid.
  • The solid molecules are in a fixed shape.
  • In the liquids, they slide on top of one another and are free to move better.
