Which of the following conditions occurs as a liquid freezes

Answer;

Strengths of intermolecular forces of the liquid molecules exceed the kinetic energy of the molecules.

Explanation;Freezing is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered to its freezing point.Freezing is almost always an exothermic process, meaning that as liquid changes into solid, heat is released. Freezing occurs when the molecules of a liquid slow down enough that their attractions cause them to arrange themselves into fixed positions as a solid.

The right choice is (C) Strengths of intermolecular forces of the liquid molecules exceed the kinetic energy of the molecules.

Explanation:

Water in liquid state has more kinetic energy because its molecules can move and due to this movement we say that the water is liquid but when it is frozen, the intermolcular forces get stronger as the water state changes from liquid to solid and we know that in solid state the kinetic energy of the molecules in comparatively low as compared to liquids, Similarly the intermolecular forces are also stronger as compare to liquids.
