Question

Which of the following is most likely to happen to a liquid substance when the temperature is increased?

molecular motion of the atoms will increase, causing it to change to a solid state

molecular motion of the atoms will decrease, causing it to change from a liquid to a solid

molecular motion of the atoms will increase, causing it to change to a gaseous state

molecular motion of the atoms will decrease, causing it to change to a gaseous state

Answer 1

:When thermal energy is added to a substance, its temperature increases, which can change its state from solid to liquid (melting), liquid to gas (vaporization), or solid to gas (sublimation). ... When the pressure exerted on a substance increases, it can cause the substance to condense.
