<span>During cooling, the kinetic energy of the molecules falls, be</span>cause, when cooling a substace, the particles (molecules) slow down.


The kinetic energy is related to the speed, such that the lower speed the lower kinetic energy.


Particles can translate and vibrate, in the case of gases and liquids, and only vibrate (in the case of solids).


As a substance is cooled the particles get closer and the motion (translation and vibration), slows down. You can see by the equation of the kinetic energy (KE):


KE = [1/2]mass×(speed)² that as the speed is lower the KE will also be lower.


Additionally, when the cooling does not drive a change of phase (gas to liquid, liquid to solid, or solid to gas), it drives a decrease on temperature. In this case you should know that the temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy: the lower the temperature, the lower the kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy if an energy in motion. Molecules in a substance has varying kinetic energies because they move at different speeds. During cooling heat is released to the environment.  Thus, when heat is being released, the kinetic energy of the molecules decreases.

Which of the following weak interactions would require the least amount of energy to disrupt? Group of answer choices
SpyIntel [72]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A hydrogen bond is defined as a weak bond that is formed between an electropositive atom (generally hydrogen atom) and an electronegative atom like oxygen, nitrogen and fluorine.

An ionic bond is defined as a bond formed between a metal and a non-metal and in this bond transfer of electron takes place from metal to non-metal. And, due to the presence of opposite charges on the combining atoms there exists a strong force of attraction.

Vander waal forces are defined as the weak electric forces which tend to attract neutral molecules towards each other in gases, liquefied and solidified gases.

Vander waal forces are very weak forces.

Thus, we can conclude that Van der walas interactions are weak interactions would require the least amount of energy to disrupt.
