The change of state being described in the passage is liquid to solid. As the temperature decreases and the atoms lose energy, they move slower and are held together by attractive forces, which indicates that they are transitioning from a liquid state (where particles can slide past each other) to a solid state (where particles are more tightly held together and move less freely).
Determine which change of state is being described in this passage.
As the temperature decreases, the atoms lose energy. The atoms begin to move slower. They are held together by attractive forces, but are still able to slide past each other.
solid to liquid
liquid to solid
gas to liquid
