Question

choose the correct answer. what causes a liquid to freeze? particles speed up and get farther apart particles slow down and get fixed into place particles gain energy and slide past each other particles speed up and get closer together

Explanation:

Freezing is a phase - change process where a liquid turns into a solid. When a liquid freezes, it loses heat energy. As a result, the kinetic energy of its particles decreases, causing them to slow down and get fixed into a more ordered arrangement characteristic of a solid.

Answer:

particles slow down and get fixed into place
