Dr. Flores wants to know which of the forum claims is best supported by the evidence you have gathered from your previous Sim ob
servations and the text. Select the claim you think is best supported from the options below. Claim 1: Molecules in a substance disappear or no longer exist when a substance changes phase. O Claim 2: Molecules in a substance move differently when a substance changes phase. Claim 3: Molecules in a substance change into a new kind of molecule during a phase change.
you will need to either add or take away energy and pay attention to how the molecules move. Molecules of a solid move in place, molecules of a liquid move around each other, and molecules of a gas move away from each other.
Claim 2: Molecules in a substance move differently when a substance changes phase.
Explanation:
Molecules in a liquid phase move freely and bump into each other. In a gas phase, the molecules move with a lot more energy and bump more times against each other; there is a lot of space for the molecules to move. In a solid phase, the molecules hardly move, there is not much space between them, and they are together, often in a regular pattern.
In conclusion, when matter changes from one phase to another, the molecules move differently.
