Question

The atoms and molecules in a liquid are in constant motion. As temperature decreases, what is true of the particles in the liquid?
the rate of particle movement decreases
the distance between the particles decreases
the attraction between the particles decreases
the potential energy of the particles decreases

Answer 1

colder, slower

Answer 2

As temperature decreases, the movement of particles decreases and the distance between particles decreases. The answer answers are: A.) The rate of particle movement decreases & B.) The distance between particles decreases.

In solids, particles vibrate in place because there is no room to move. In liquids, there is plenty of room to move around and particles can move past each other and collide. In gases, particles have even more room to move around and the particles collide more often at high rates of particle movement, or potential energy.

Answer 3

A) is true and so is B), C) and D) are bothn wrong
