4

Which statement best compares the energy involved in melting with the energy involved in boiling for a given liquid?

A
Energy is removed from the particles in each change, but more energy is removed in melting than in boiling because the attractions are weaker.
B
Energy is removed from the particles in each change, but more energy is removed in boiling than in melting because the attractions are weaker.
C
Energy is added to the particles in each change, but boiling requires more energy than melting because the attractions must be completely overcome.
D
Energy is added to the particles in each change, but melting requires more energy than boiling because the attractions must be completely overcome.
