Which state of matter consists of particles that can be partially compressed? Gas Liquid Plasma Solid

Chemistry

son4ous [18]3 years ago

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

In liquid state, particles do have kinetic energy that helps in partially overcoming the intermolecular forces between the molecules. But still the particles are close together and they are able to slide past each other.

So, when we apply pressure on a liquid then its molecules partially gets compressed.

On the other hand, molecules of a solid are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence, they have definite shape and volume. As a result, solids do not get compressed.

In gases and plasma state of matter, molecules are gar away from each other. So, they are able to get completely compressed when a pressure is applied.

Thus, we can conclude that liquid is the state of matter which consists of particles that can be partially compressed.

What could you change or add to your models based on what you have learned about molecules and phases so far?
timurjin [86]

Answer:Phase changes require either the addition of heat energy (melting, evaporation, and sublimation) or subtraction of heat energy (condensation and freezing). ... Changing the amount of heat energy usually causes a temperature change.

Why don't satellites in orbit fly into space?
Alex787 [66]
This is a question similar to one wrestled with by Newton himself, who didn't understand why the planets didn't fall into each other. The reason satellites don't fly into space is because they are being pulled towards the planet by the planet's gravity.

svetoff [14.1K]
A human body, just like a dog's, will sweat. Dogs will pants and sweat through the pads of their feet to cool down, and human will sweat through their foreheads, armpits, etc.
Dogs will tend to, in hot environments, lay on the floor or where the surface is cooler. Since they cannot simply strip their clothing to keep cool they tend to find cool surfaces, fans, sources of air, etc. to keep cool from the heat.

A scientist observes that the electrical resistance of a superconducting material drops to zero when the material is cooled to v
k0ka [10]

Answer:

The scientist is observing an intensive property of a superconductor.

Explanation:

An intensive property is a bulk property of matter. This means that an intensive property does not depend on the amount of substance present in the material under study. Typical examples of intensive properties include; conductivity, resistivity, density, hardness, etc.

An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of substance present in a sample. Extensive properties depend on the quantity of matter present in the sample under study. Examples of extensive properties include, mass and volume.

Resistance of a superconducting material has nothing to do with the amount of the material present hence it is an intensive property of the superconductor.
