Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A	a loss of mass
B	an electrostatic discharge
C	a transfer of electrons
D	a change of state

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -As the temperature of a solid, liquid or gas increases, the particles move more rapidly. As the temperature falls, the particles slow down.

Detailed explanation-2: -During a change of the state of matter, the supplied energy is not used to increase the kinetic energy of the molecules, but to change the binding energies. Therefore, the temperature remains constant.

Detailed explanation-3: -The temperature of any substance remains constant throughout a state shift since the heat energy produced is used up in changing the state of matter and also for breaking numerous bonds or attractive forces.

Detailed explanation-4: -What are Changes of State? A change of state is a physical change in a matter. They are reversible changes and do not involve any changes in the chemical makeup of the matter. Common changes of the state include melting, freezing, sublimation, deposition, condensation, and vaporization.
