Question

you have learned about how particles in solids, liquids, and gases behave as thermal energy increases. click the blue words to describe how particles in a substance behave as thermal energy decreases. when a gas is cooled, the particles begin to move more slowly. when the temperature drops below the melting point, the substances particles have condensed and formed a liquid. if the liquid is cooled down even more, the amount of thermal energy in the particles will decrease, and the liquids temperature will continue to decrease. eventually, the substance will freeze and form a solid. if the temperature continues to increase, the particles in the solid will move around one another more slowly.

Explanation:

As thermal energy decreases in a substance, particles move more slowly. In gases, cooling slows particle - motion. Below the melting point, gases condense to liquids. Further cooling of liquids reduces thermal energy and temperature, leading to freezing into solids. The statement about increasing temperature making solid - particles move more slowly is incorrect. In fact, increasing temperature makes solid - particles vibrate more vigorously.

Answer:

When thermal energy decreases in a substance, particles move more slowly. Gases condense to liquids below the melting point when cooled, and liquids freeze to solids with further cooling. The last statement about increasing temperature in solids causing slower movement is wrong; it should cause faster movement.
