Question

What happens to some metals when the kinetic energy of their particles is decreased?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

When the kinetic energy of the particles in a metal is decreased, the temperature of the metal decreases and the particles slow down. This can lead to a decrease in conductivity, ductility, and malleability of the metal. Additionally, if the temperature drops low enough, the metal may undergo a phase change and become brittle.
