Answer : The correct option is, Mass
Explanation :
As we know that there are 3 states of matter :
Solid state : It is a state in which the particles are closely packed and does not have any space between them. This state have a definite shape and volume.
Liquid state : It is a state in which the particles are present in random and irregular pattern. The particles are closely arranged but they can move from one place to another. This state have a definite volume but does not have a fixed shape.
Gaseous state : It is a state in which the particles are loosely arranged and have a lot of space between them. This state have indefinite volume as well as shape.
If we are taking 100 grams of ice then after melting its mass remains same but its shape, volume and temperature will be changed and after evaporation its mass remains same but its shape, volume and temperature will be changed.
Hence, the mass will stay constant, no matter if the substance is in the solid, liquid, or gas state.
The answer is B. A good way determine this is how far right the element is on the periodic table. The further right the element is, the more electronegative it is meaning it is more willing to accept an electron. This can be explained using the valence electrons and how many need to be added or removed to complete the octet. The further right you are, the easier it is for the element to just gain a few electrons instead of loose a bunch. Noble gases are the exception to this since they don't normally react though.
