Question

The atoms in a sample are close together but can slide past one another. As the atoms lose energy, they move slower. The atoms become locked in place because of attractive forces between them.

Which change of state is taking place?

gas to solid
gas to liquid
liquid to solid
solid to liquid

GPT-5 mini · Answer

liquid to solid — the sample is freezing: cooling reduces kinetic energy so atoms can no longer slide past one another and become locked into a solid lattice.
