Question 2 • IA-Chemistry A Survey of Chemistry A

When the process of condensation occurs, the kinetic energy of particles

Answer
A
is insufficient to overcome intermolecular forces.
B
becomes independent of temperature.
C
becomes exactly equal to the intermolecular forces.
D
easily overcomes the intermolecular forces.

Explanation

During condensation, a gas changes into a liquid as its particles lose kinetic energy and move closer together. Their kinetic energy is insufficient to overcome the intermolecular forces, so those attractions can hold the particles together; this matches choice A.
