Question

select all the correct answers. when wax is heated, it turns into a liquid. how are the wax molecules affected by this change of state? the molecules gain energy. the molecules lose energy. the molecules move closer to one another. the space between the molecules increases. the space between the molecules decreases.

Explanation:

When wax is heated and changes from solid to liquid, heat energy is added. This causes the wax molecules to gain energy and move more freely. As a result, the space between the molecules increases.

Answer:

The molecules gain energy.
The space between the molecules increases.
