A vapour passes over cool metal tubes and changes into a liquid. As this change of state happens, energy is transferred to the tubes.
Which statement explains this energy transfer?
Energy stored in the empty spaces between particles is released as those spaces become smaller.
Attractions between the particles are overcome as liquid forms, releasing energy to the metal tubes.
The vapour reacts with the metal tubes as liquid forms, releasing energy in a chemical change.
Attractions pull the particles closer together as the liquid forms, releasing energy to the metal tubes.
