The correct answer is the last one:
A and C are different elements, while D is an isotope of C.
In fact, A and C are different elements, because they have a different number of protons in the nucleus (A has 3 protons, while C has 4 protons). Instead, D and C are the same element (they both have 4 protons in the nucleus), but they are different isotopes since they have a different number of neutrons (D has 4 neutrons while C has 3 neutrons)
Answer:
The correct answer is the third option: The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.
Explanation:
Temperature is, in depth, a statistical value; kind of an average of the particles movement in any physical system (such as a glass filled with water). Kinetic energy, for sure, is the energy resulting from movement (technically depending on mass and velocity of a system; in other words, the faster something moves, the greater its kinetic energy.
Since temperature is related to the total average random movement in a system, and so is the kinetic energy (related to movement through velocity), as the thermometer measures <u>less temperature</u>, that would mean that the particles (in this case: water particles) are <u>moving slowly</u>, so that: the slower something moves, the lower its kinetic energy.
<u>In summary:</u> temperature tells about how fast are moving and colliding the particles within a system, and since it is <em>directly proportional</em> to the amount of movement, it can be related (also <em>directly proportional</em>) to the kinectic energy.
