When thermal energy is decreased in a liquid and freezing occurs, what state of matter does the liquid change into?
|
|
Gas
|
|
|
Solid
|
|
|
Either A or B
|

|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The change from the liquid state to the solid state is called freezing. As the liquid cools, it loses thermal energy. As a result, its particles slow down and come closer together. Attractive forces begin to trap particles, and the crystals of a solid begin to form.
Detailed explanation-2: -When energy is removed, the opposite happens, decreasing the substance’s temperature and turning it from liquid to solid (freezing), gas to solid (deposition), or from gas to liquid (condensation).
Detailed explanation-3: -The process by which a substance changes from the liquid phase to the solid phase is known as freezing.
