Question 6 multiple choice worth 3 points)
(01.03 lc)
what does a decrease in temperature indicate about the molecules in a sample of liquid water?
decreased chemical energy of the molecules
decreased kinetic energy of the molecules
increased chemical energy of the molecules
increased kinetic energy of the molecules

Decreased kinetic energy of the molecules  

Explanation:

Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules in a substance.

If the temperature decreases, the average kinetic energy of the molecules decreases.

A and C are wrong. Temperature has no effect on the chemical energy of molecules.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.

it is b that is the answer.
