next few minutes?
A)Molecules in both the metal and the surrounding air will start moving at lower speeds.
B)Molecules in both the metal and the surrounding air will start moving at higher speeds.
C)The air molecules that are surrounding the metal will slow down, and the molecules in the metal will speed up
D)The air molecules that are surrounding the metal will speed up, and the molecules in the metal will slow down

D) The air molecules that are surrounding the metal will speed up, and the molecules in the metal will slow down.

This means the air around will heat up, and the plate will cool down. They are trying to reach a thermal equilibrium.

The air molecules that are surrounding the metal will speed up, and the molecules in the metal will slow down is the event which would most likely to take place over next few minutes.

Hence, option (D) is correct answer.

What is Exothermic Reaction ?

Exothermic reaction is a reaction that is chemical in nature and in which the energy is released in form of heat, electricity or light. Energy is released when the new bonds are formed and this bond making process is an exothermic process.

What is Exothermic Reaction ?

Endothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that absorbs heat from the surroundings. Energy is absorbed when the bonds breaks and this bond breaking process is endothermic process.

Here in this process the heat is evolved so it is exothermic process.

Thus, from the above conclusion we can say that The air molecules that are surrounding the metal will speed up, and the molecules in the metal will slow down is the event which would most likely to take place over next few minutes.

Hence, option (D) is correct answer.
