[05.01]Which of the following best explains what happens when the kinetic energy of particles in a liquid state decreases? They vibrate more slowly, resulting in the formation of a solid. They vibrate so quickly that the particles ionize and become plasma. They vibrate so slowly that the particles are no longer held together, resulting in the formation of a gas. They vibrate fast enough to overcome the forces of attraction holding them together and become a gas.

kinetic energy \(\large \downarrow \) => vibrations \(\large \downarrow \) => solidifying

So it would be B?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

does that make some sense

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

No. if kinetic energy decreases, particles vibrate slowly

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

and solidify

Ohh ok so A?
