CHM 101 Chemical Bonding and Intermolecular Forces Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

What happens when liquids are cooled?
Options
A Particles lose kinetic energy, attractive forces strengthen, and particles become restricted to fixed positions
Correct Answer
B Particles gain energy
C Particles move faster
D Particles escape
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

When liquids are cooled, particles lose kinetic energy. Attractive forces strengthen in comparison to particle energy, causing particles to be restricted to a fixed position where they vibrate.

Hint

The notes describe this process as freezing.
