Does the size of the particles change as a substance changes state

Ok, particle is not a very nice word, no real sense of size associated with it
it can be a group of molecules like a speck of sand
referring to the molecules themselves
or refering to the atoms that make up the molecule

now in terms of phase change,
if we consider a speck- a group of molecules- then solids will expand when heated, however this definition falls flat in terms of phase change

ok, how about molecules, as molecules undergo phase change, the molecules in relation to each other will move apart from one another. Solid- molecules are bonded, Liquids- molecules are close and flow around each other, Gas- molecules are a significant distance from one another. But the increase in size when you heat up a molecule, i would have to say yes. adding heat increases energy which increases molecular vibration which would probably  increase the overall average size to some unnoticeable degree.

now standalone atoms are just atoms, if you want to consider the electron cloud as size, then heating it up would negligibly cause the outer move outward. but it really depends on the scale of the question

Option B is correct.

What is a resource ?

A resource is any physical material constituting a part of Earth that people need and value. Natural materials become resources when humans value them. The uses and values of resources change from culture to culture and from time to time. Resources are spatially distributed varying in quantity and quality.

Why the resources are important?

Resources are necessary for citizenry because of the following reasons: Resources when used as a raw material satisfy the needs and comforts of human beings. Natural resources are a source of agricultural activities which adds to the economic importance. They also provide employment opportunities.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

C. their gametes do not require water for fertilization to occur.

Explanation:

Seed bearing plants are plants that produce seeds. The gametes of seed-bearing plants do no depend on water for fertilization. Fertilization could occur through the transfer of pollen from the male gametophtye to the female gametophyte through animals or wind.

Unlike other plant types like the bryophytes, they rely on water for fertilization. They so have xylem and phloem as well as other plants. They also have stems,roots and leaves like other plants.
