As the temperature of a substance decreases and it eventually freezes, the correct response is: Particle motion decreases, and electrostatic forces pull particles closer together.
This describes how, as the kinetic energy of the particles decreases due to lower temperatures, they lose motion and are increasingly influenced by attractive forces, leading to the formation of a solid structure.
