For a substance to change from a liquid to a solid, what must happen to its particles?
O A. They must lose enough of their kinetic energy that their movement
is influenced by the attractions between them.
B. They must gain enough kinetic energy to allow them to move
freely while still being attracted to one another.
C. They must lose enough of their kinetic energy so that the
attractions between them hold in place as they vibrate.
D. They must gain enough kinetic energy to break out of their rigid
structure and move independently.

C. They must lose enough of their kinetic energy so that the  attractions between them hold in place as they vibrate.

Explanation:

The "kinetic energy" refers to the energy of an object when it is moving. This is directly proportional to the object's "thermal energy." If the kinetic energy of an object increases, the thermal energy increases and if the kinetic energy decreases, the object's thermal energy decreases as well.

Changing the phase of an object from liquid to solid means that the object will be subjected to low temperature. This means the thermal energy will decrease as well as the kinetic energy. This is known as "freezing." The object needs to lose enough kinetic energy. This results to its particles moving closer together in an attractive force.

So, this explains the answer.

what type of charge does it have? negative
