Question

a liquid freezes because its particles lose energy. true false

Explanation:

When a liquid freezes, it changes from a liquid state to a solid state. Particles in a liquid have more energy (they move more freely) compared to particles in a solid. As the liquid cools (loses energy), the particles slow down. Eventually, they lose enough energy that the intermolecular forces (forces between particles) can hold them in a fixed, ordered arrangement characteristic of a solid. So, the statement "A liquid freezes because its particles lose energy" is in line with the scientific understanding of the freezing process.

Answer:

TRUE
