The phase changes water and other substances undergo are based on which of the following?
A)Gravitational energy stored within the electron orbitals of atoms.
B)The amount of motion of molecules and the strength of the bonds between them.
C)Nuclear fusion processes between atoms of a substance.
D)Nuclear fission processes between atoms of a substance.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The phase changes of water and other substances are based on the amount of motion of molecules and the strength of the bonds between them. This is because phase changes involve either breaking or forming bonds between molecules. Gravitational energy stored within electron orbitals, nuclear fusion, and nuclear fission are not involved in these processes.
