Question

you have learned about how particles in solids, liquids, and gases behave as thermal energy increases. click the blue words to describe how particles in a substance behave as thermal energy decreases. when a gas is cooled, the particles begin to move more quickly. when the temperature drops below the melting point, the substances particles have condensed and formed a liquid. if the liquid is cooled down even more, the amount of thermal energy in the particles will increase, and the liquids temperature will continue to decrease. eventually, the substance will freeze and form a solid. if the temperature continues to increase, the particles in the solid will vibrate in place more slowly.

Explanation:

The text contains incorrect statements about particle behavior as thermal energy changes. When a gas is cooled, particles move more slowly, not quickly. When temperature drops below the melting - point (should be freezing - point for gas to liquid transition), particles condense to form a liquid. Cooling a liquid further decreases thermal energy. Heating a solid makes particles vibrate more quickly, not more slowly.

Answer:

The text has multiple inaccuracies regarding how particles in substances behave as thermal energy changes.
