MCQ
At change of state the kinetic energy of the molecules of a substances increases greatly.
  • A
    True
  • False
  • C
    Either
  • D
    Neither

Answer

Correct option: B.
False
If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance.
An example we will use here is ice melting into water.
