Question

Drag each tile to the correct box. Arrange the steps in order to describe what happens to a gas when it cools. The particles of gas move slower. The gas changes to a liquid. The gas loses thermal energy. The space between the gas particles decreases. ↓ ↓ ↓

Answer 1

Answer:

Ok, as the gas starts to cool down, the kinetic energy of the particles starts to decrease, so the first thing that happens is:

"the gas loses thermal energy" (as the gas cools down, the temperature decreases, so it loses thermal energy)

Now, the kinetic energy must decrease, so now:

"the particles of gas move slower".

Then, as the particles start to move slower, they start to get closer to eachother, then we have:

"The space between the gas particles decreases."

As the particles start to get close to eachother, the density of the gas starts to increase, until a point where we get to the condensation point, here we have a change of phase and the gas changes to a liquid, so here we have:

"The gas changes to a liquid."
