Question

Which of the following correctly describes what happens to the kinetic energy of water when it changes from steam to a

liquid?
There is no change in the kinetic energy of the molecules.
The kinetic energy of the molecules increases.
The kinetic energy of the molecules decreases.
The kinetic energy of the molecules increases then decreases.

Answer 1

hi <3

i would say the kinetic energy decreases (so option C), as liquid particles are more closely packed than in a gas

hope this helps <3
