<u>Answer: </u>The particles of gases are moving with a greater kinetic energy than the particles of liquid state.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In gaseous state, the particles are randomly arranged which means there is a lot of intermolecular spacing between them. This means that the particles are constant moving and have more kinetic energy.

In liquid state, the particles are arranged orderly as compared to the gaseous state which means that the intermolecular spacing between the particles is less than the gaseous state. This means that the particles have less kinetic energy.

We are given that the temperature is a measure of how much the atoms in a substance is moving and kinetic energy is the energy which is possessed by the virtue of the object's motion.

More the kinetic energy, high will be the temperature and vice-versa.

Hence, gaseous state has more kinetic energy and thus have higher temperature and therefore, the substance feels hotter.

Hey there!
In a gas state, particles have lots of energy, so they move around very rapidly, hitting each other and flowing around, that's why you see them moving so freely. Because they have so much energy, the substance is likely to be harder, as it can obtain more thermal energy, or heat.
Hope this helps!

Answer:

Decreases the time period of revolution

Explanation:

The time period of Cygnus X-1 orbiting a massive star is 5.6 days.

The orbital velocity of a planet is given by the formula,

                                        v = √[GM/(R + h)]

In the case of rotational motion, v = (R +h)ω

                                         ω = √[GM/(R + h)] /(R +h)

Where 'ω' is the angular velocity of the planet

The time period of rotational motion is,

                                     T = 2π/ω

By substitution,

                                      <em>T = 2π(R +h)√[(R + h)/GM] </em>

Hence, from the above equation, if the mass of the star is greater, the gravitational force between them is greater. This would reduce the time period of revolution of the planet.

Water is a compound because it is what?Water is a compound because it
seraphim [82]

Water is a compound because it always has two hydrogen atoms for each oxygen atom. Water can be broken down into simpler substances. Water is a compound because pure water is composed of only H₂O molecules. Each molecule of water is a chemical combination of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.  Water is a type of molecular compound.

\boxed{~The~Answer~is~B.~}

<h3>Further explanation</h3>
  • Compounds are substances composed of two or more different elements chemically combined that can be separated into simpler substances only by chemical reactions.
  • Water, for example, is a compound because pure water is composed of only H₂O molecules. Each molecule of water is a chemical combination of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
  • A molecular bond or covalent bond occurs as a result of electrons can be shared between atoms. Molecular compounds have molecular (covalent) bonds.
  • An ionic bond occurs as a result of electrons can be completely removed from one atom and given to another. Ionic compounds have ionic bonds.
  • Examples of other molecular compounds are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆). Each molecule of CO₂ is a chemical combination of two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom. Each molecule of C₆H₁₂O₆ is a chemical combination of six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms.
  • Table salt (NaCl) is a compound because it is made from more than one kind of element (Na and Cl), but it is not a molecule because the bond that holds NaCl together is an ionic bond. An electron from the outer shell of sodium is released and taken by chlorine to reach octet conditions on both sides, that is how ionic bonds occur. Thus NaCl is an ionic compound.
  • A diatomic molecule is a molecule made from two atoms of the same type. For example, oxygen gas in the atmosphere is a molecule because it contains molecular bonds. It is not a compound because it is made from atoms of only one element, i.e. oxygen. Another example is hydrogen gas, nitrogen gas, and chlorine gas.
  • Elements are the simplest forms of matter and therefore cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical or physical reactions. Some examples of elements include hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, sodium, iron, and sulfur. Elements can combine with other elements to synthesize compounds.
