As the temperature of a block of iron decreases, _____ forces betweent he atoms will increase. a. disruptive b. cohesive c. disruptive and cohesive d. neither disruptive nor cohesive

d. neither disruptive nor cohesive

Explanation

All matter is made up of atoms that are too negligible, and all particles are in constant motion. In iron or any solid, the particles vibrate about fixed positions even when the temperatures are low. This implies that a change in temperature will only affect the kinetic energy and the speed of particles, but does not affect the forces between them.
