(01.03 LC)
What does a decrease in temperature indicate about the molecules in a sample of liquid water?
Decreased chemical energy of the molecules
Decreased kinetic energy of the molecules
Increased chemical energy of the molecules
Increased kinetic energy of the molecules

Answer 1

Decreased kinetic energy of the molecules

Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.

If the temperature decreases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules decreases.

A and C are wrong. Temperature has no effect on the chemical energy of molecules.
