ella makes this table to organize her notes on whether atoms gain or lose energy during the changes of state.

which changes of state should she place in the column titled "lose energy"?

a. freezing, boiling, and melting

b. melting, vaporization, and sublimation

c. sublimation, deposition, and condensation

d. freezing, deposition, and condensation

D. freezing, deposition, and condensation

Explanation:

In order to understand, let's see the definition of these changes of state:

- freezing: freezing occurs when a substance changes from liquid state to solid state

- deposition: deposition occurs when a substance changes from gas state to solid state, without passing through the liquid state

- condensation: this process occurs when a substance changes from gas state to liquid state

In all the three processes listed above, energy is released from the substance, which in fact loses energy. In fact:

- in a liquid, the particles have more energy than in a solid (because in liquid they can move, while in solid they can only vibrate), so during freezing, since a liquid turns into a solid, it releases energy to the surrounding

- in a gas, the particles have more energy than in a liquid (because in a gas they can move faster than in a liquid), so during condensation, since a gas turns into a liquid, energy is released to the surrounding

- in deposition, the particles change from the gas state (where they move faster) to a solid state (where they are not free to move), so they lose energy as well.

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!
