C) Steam has the most energy.

Steam has more energy than Ice and Water because the particles in ice are close together, the particles in water flow more loosely than in a solid like ice and in steam they are very active.

I hope that helps u understand :)

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Ice is a solid and it is known that particles in a solid are held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. As a result, they have least kinetic energy.

Due to this solids have a definite shape and volume.

Water is a liquid and it is known that particles in a liquid are held by less strong intermolecular forces of attraction as compared to solids. As a result, particles of a liquid are able to slide past each other due to some kinetic energy.

Hence, liquids have no definite shape but they have fixed volume.

Steam is a gaseous state of a water and it is known that particles of a gas are held by weak intermolecular forces of attraction. Hence, particles of a gas have high kinetic energy and they tend to colloid more rapidly.

As a result, gases do not have definite shape but they occupy whole volume of a container.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options steam has the most energy.

a metal melts at 450°c.is this property of the metal classified as chemical or physical ?explain your choice

avanturin [10]

Chemical properties describe how things undergo chemical reactions, while physical properties describe how things behave when they're not undergoing reactions.

In the case of melting a metal, the melted metal continues to be the same material - just in a liquid rather than a solid form. As a result, melting (and all phase changes, for that matter) is a physical change and the ability of the metal to melt at 450 degrees is a physical property.

The prefix milli- means 103 10-2 10-3 102

lesantik [10]

Milli- (symbol m) is a unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of one thousandth (10−3). Proposed in 1793 and adopted in 1795, the prefix comes from the Latin mille, meaning "one thousand" (the Latin plural is milia).
