Question

When the particles of a liquid experience a decrease in kinetic energy, which of the following is true?

temperature increases
temperature decreases
intermolecular bonds become weaker
intermolecular bonds become strong
freezes
melts
molecules speed up
molecules slow down

Answer 1

kinetic energy is movement.. so the moving molecules keep the water a liquid so what happens if they slow down? this should help (:

Answer 2

(another hint is that solids' molecules move very little or do not move at all)

Answer 3

temperature decreases

Answer 4

molecules slow down

Answer 5

yup and what happens to the water when temperature decreases? besides the molecules

Answer 6

there two more answers im pretty sure

Answer 7

intermolecular bonds become weaker

Answer 8

if the molecules are stiffening and becoming more solid they would actually get stronger not weaker

Answer 9

one more (:

Answer 10

Oh so the intermolecular bonds become strong

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

And the water freezes i think

Answer 13

yup good job :>

Answer 14

Thanks for the help!

Answer 15

good job
