What happens to an atom in a liquid as it freezes? a. they gain energy b. they begin to move faster c. they are held together by attractive forces

The answer is C. They are held together by attractive forces.

I just answered this question and I got it right.

C.They are held together by attractive forces

Explanation:

Water, as we know, ti's liquid.

Liquids have the property of adapting to the container that contains it and its molecular bonds are easy to break.

Insted, in solid compouds, their molecules are tightly bound and maintain a particular shape.

So, in conclution, when we descend the temperature to 0°C or lower, we gave this molecules energy and their attractive forces are stronger and change it material state from liquid to solid.
