When a popsicle melts, the particles

A. there are no particles in popsicles

B. stay the same

C. lose thermal energy and slow down

D. gain thermal energy and speed up

Respuesta :

Answer:

I think the answer is b but I could be wrong. but I believe the answer is b.

Explanation:

because As the popsicle melts, it goes through a change of state or phase change. A change of state when a substance changes physical form but not in molecule make up. The molecules do not change into something different they just gain or lose energy and movement.

With the melting of particles there has been the gain of thermal energy by the particles, that results in speeding up the particles. Thus, option D is correct.

A popsicle has been the ice frozen snack. The popsicle has been present in solid form. The melting of popsicles has been the change in the state of the matter from solid ice form to liquid form.

The change in the state of matter has been achieved with the loss or gain of energy. The solid has been the compact form, and with the gain of energy, there has been the increased motion of solid molecules. The increase in the motion results in the breaking of the attraction forces and results in the phase change.

Thus, when a popsicle melts there has been a gain of energy by the particles and increased motion. Thus, option D is correct.
