What happens to the average kinetic energy of water molecules as water freezes? It decreases as the water absorbs energy from its surroundings. It increases as the water absorbs energy from its surroundings. It increases as the water releases energy to its surroundings. It decreases as the water releases energy to its surroundings.
Answer:the average kinetic energy is directly proportional to the temperature . When water freezes, the temperature decreases and therefore, the average kinetic energy will also decreases as well.
