Show all 10 questions
  1. In a heating curve, why does the temperature of a substance remain constant during a phase change even though thermal energy is still being added?
    A) The energy is being converted into gravitational potential energy.
    B) The energy is used to overcome intermolecular forces rather than increasing particle speed.
    C) The thermometer reaches a saturation point and cannot record higher temperatures.
    D) The particles stop moving entirely during the transition between states.
