What happens to the average kinetic energy of water molecules as water freezes A It increases as the water releases energy to its surroundings B It increases as class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

C. It decreases as the water releases energy to its surroundings

Explanation:

The energy that is possessed in the body because of the motion is said to be kinetic energy. When the water freezes, the kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases as the particles stop motion. The energy is released in the surrounding. Freezing takes place when the liquid molecules slow down and lose the kinetic energy to form the solid crystals.
