b)The potential energy of molecules decrease as they get closer to one another.
c)Energy is given off when the attraction between two molecules is broken.
d)Increasing the pressure on a solid usually causes it to become a liquid.

Please read forum rules. You wrote you did it already - but it seems like you should try again. Especially point 4.

Ok so I know he didn't follow protocol, but I am still curious what the answer is. I know A and D are wrong. I've never learned anything about PE and distance relative to molecules, but from what i know about PE I want to say B is also wrong? Help?
