Question
based on the model you saw in the study, predict what will happen to the interactions between water molecules as the temperature in the system decreases.
a. the interactions between the molecules will become weaker.
b. the interactions between the molecules will become stronger.
c. the change in temperature will have little or no effect on the interactions between the molecules.
d. the molecules will collide more often.
As temperature decreases, the kinetic energy of water molecules reduces. Weaker kinetic energy leads to stronger intermolecular forces as molecules move more slowly and are more likely to be attracted to each other.
