h₂o is initially present in a state where its molecules are far apart. during a change of state, its molecules slow down.
which change of state has most likely taken place?
from a gas to a liquid
from a liquid to a gas
from a solid to a liquid
from a gas to a plasma

Explanation:

• Gas has widely spaced, fast-moving molecules.
• When gas becomes liquid, molecules slow down and move closer together, matching the described change. Other options do not fit: liquid to gas speeds up molecules, solid to liquid speeds them up, gas to plasma speeds them up further.

Answer:

from a gas to a liquid
