The statement that BEST describes what will happen when enough thermal energy is removed from the container to cause a change in state is:
**Molecular energy will decrease, and the substance will change from a gas to a liquid.**
This is because removing thermal energy typically leads to a decrease in molecular motion, which is associated with a condensation process where gas transitions to a liquid state.
**Molecular energy will decrease, and the substance will change from a gas to a liquid.**
