Which of the following is a viable possibility for a liquid particle that loses energy? (select all that apply) the liquid particle may become a gas particle the liquid particle may become a solid particle the liquid particle may become a slower moving liquid particle the liquid particle may become a faster moving liquid particle

In a liquid, for example water (H2O), the molecules are in constant motion. When water loses energy, its molecular motion decreases. As a result water molecules get pulled closer and experience a stronger force of attraction (cohesive forces). If sufficient energy is lost, the physical state of water can change from liquid to solid. Hence the correct choices are:

the liquid may become a solid particle

the liquid may become a slower moving liquid particle
