Which process most likely takes place when the kinetic energy of molecules overcomes the intermolecular forces?
a) boiling
b) condensation
c) freezing
d) solidification

a) boiling

Explanation:

The major difference between solids, liquids and gases is:

a) intermolecular forces [ the order is solid>liquid>gas]

b) kinetic or thermal energy. [the order is gas>liquid>solid].

thus when the kinetic energy is more and intermolecular forces are less it means there is a change from

i) solid to liquid

ii) solid to gas

iii) or liquid to gas

the given processes observe following phase changes:

a) boiling : liquid to gas

b) condensation : gas to liquid.

c) freezing : liquid to solid.

d) solidification:liquid to solid.

coral.

explanation:

coral. many marine organisms that produce calcium carbonate shells or skeletons are negatively impacted by increasing co2 levels and decreasing ph in seawater.
