<span>Heat comes from stove flame to the sauce pan by radiation through infrared energy, heat conducts the metal of the sauce pan; Convection brings cool water to the hot surface at the bottom of the hot sauce pan until all or most of the water is hot enough to boil.</span>
<em>Answer:</em>
<em>well..</em>
<em>Explana</em><em>tion</em><em>:</em>
<em>L</em><em>iquid</em><em> can flow but solid cannot because of differences in their properties</em>
<em>property of liquid which lets it flow:</em>
- <em>i</em><em>nter-particular</em><em> space is large</em>
- <em>inter-particular attraction is small</em><em> </em><em>t</em><em>hese</em><em> properties tend to make the molecules of liquid free to flow</em><em> </em>
<em>property</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>solid</em><em> </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>tends</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>obstruct</em><em> </em><em>flow</em><em>:</em>
- <em>inter-particular</em><em> </em><em>spa</em><em>c</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>small</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>so</em><em> </em><em>it's </em><em>compac</em><em>t</em>
- <em>inter-molecular</em><em> </em><em>attra</em><em>ction</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>strong</em><em> </em><em>hence</em><em> </em><em>no</em><em> </em><em>tenden</em><em>cy</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>flow</em>
<em>H</em><em>o</em><em>p</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>this</em><em> </em><em>helps</em><em>!</em>
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The statement that best describes the state of metals when they are at room temperature would be that most <span>nonmetals are gaseous, but some are liquid or solid. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
