A gaseous substance turns into a solid. Which best describes this change? A substance that has a specific shape changes to a sub
stance that has no specific shape. A substance that has no specific volume changes to a substance that has a specific volume. A substance that completely fills its container changes to a substance that has a specific volume but takes the shape of its container. A substance that has a specific volume changes to a substance that has a much smaller specific volume.
A substance that has no specific volume (gas has no definite volume or shape)changes to a substance that has a specific volume (solid has definite volume and definite shape).
And all the other options doesn't describe this change of gaseous substance turns into solid.
<u>The right option is :</u>
A substance that has no specific volume changes to a substance that has a specific volume.
The answer is weak intermolecular attractions volume and shape of container. The molecules of gases have high kinetic energy compared to those of liquids and solids hence they are farther apart from one another. This results to weak intermolecular forces. Gases also expand to fit the container hence have no definite shape or volume.
