answeredWhen a substance changes from a solid to a liquid, the most accurate statement is:
B. the density of the substance decreases.
This is because most substances, when they melt, have a lower density in the liquid state compared to the solid state. Water is a notable exception, as it becomes less dense when it freezes, which is why ice floats on water. However, in general, many materials do experience a decrease in density upon melting.
