Describe the energy change in the particles of a substance during melting.
a) the kinetic energy of the particles remains unchanged.
b) absorbed energy results in the change in potential energy.
c) as the temperature increases during melting, the kinetic energy also increases.
d) the kinetic energy of the particles decreases as the particles move farther apart.

B) Absorbed energy results in the change in potential energy.

This is the correct answer for yah!

a chemical reaction happens

explanation:

"hydrogen bonding is the attraction of h atoms in the water molecule (slight + charge) to o atoms in a neighboring water molecule (slight - charge); it is a weak interatomic force. but it is still strong enough to the water molecules "stick" together."
