A diagram below shows molecules in a state of matter:
If enough thermal energy is removed from the container to cause a change in state, which statement best describes what will happen?
(1 point)
Molecular energy will decrease, and the substance will change from a gas to a liquid
Molecular energy will increase, and the substance will change from a gas to a liquid
Molecular energy will increase, and the substance will change from a liquid to a gas
Molecular energy will decrease, and the substance will change from a liquid to a gas
None of the given answer choices accurately describe what will happen when enough thermal energy is removed from the container to cause a change in state. The correct answer would be:
Molecular energy will decrease, and the substance will change from a gas to a liquid.
