An ice cube tray full of water is put into a freezer. Which energy change occurs in the particles in the water as it undergoes a phase change from a liquid to a solid? (1 point)

Item 1
COURSE TOOLS
• The potential energy decreases due to the looser arrangement of the particles.
• The potential energy decreases due to the tighter arrangement of the particles.
• The potential energy increases due to the looser arrangement of the particles.
• The potential energy increases due to the tighter arrangement of the particles.

The potential energy decreases due to the tighter arrangement of the particles.

An increase in thermal energy leads to
