A scientist did a test to compare two substances: substance Q and substance R. At room temperature, both substances are liquid. When the scientist transferred
the same amount of energy out of both substances, only one substance
changed phase while the other did not. Which substance changed phase, and
how did it change? *
Substance Q changed phase because the attraction of the molecules was able to
overcome their slower movement. Its molecules now move in place.
Substance Q changed phase because the strong attraction between molecules made
their movement slower. Its molecules now move in place.
Substance R changed phase because the weak attraction between molecules let them
move faster. Its molecules now move around each other.
Substance R changed phase because the attraction was able to overcome the slower
molecules. Its molecules now move away from each other.
