Which outcome occurs when thermal energy reduces molecular attraction within paraffin wax?

💡 Explanation

Reducing thermal energy reduces molecular attraction leading to decreased viscosity which changes to liquid. This phase change results from overcoming intermolecular forces, therefore liquid viscosity decreases, rather than sublimation staying, maintaining conductivity, or changing crystallinity.
