What happens if atoms lose energy during a change of state? The atoms are pushed apart by repulsive forces and become less organized. The atoms are pulled together by attractive forces and become less organized. The atoms are pushed apart by repulsive forces and become more organized.

The atoms are pulled together by attractive forces and become more organized.

Explanation:

According to the gas laws, the temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the atoms of a molecule. State of change is primary driven by energy gain or loss. When molecules absorb energy, they transit into a phase in which their atoms are more mobile and move about more freely, staying relatively from, one from the other. When there is loss of energy, the molecules change into a less mobile state in which their atoms  move with lesser energy, and stay relatively closer to each other than they were.

During a the process in which atoms lose energy, its atoms are pulled together by the attractive force, and become more organised, since they now possess less kinetic energy.
