Question

The nature particle model of matter describe the property of solid, liquid and gas in molecular level. Which of the given statements below is TRUE?
A. Matter is made up of large particles.
B. Particles of matter have spaces between them.
C. Particles of matter are not moving all the time.
D. The particles of matter do not attract each other.​

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Particles of matter have spaces between them.

Explanation:

The particle nature model of matter is an model used to explain the properties and nature of matter. The statements of the particle nature model of matter are as follows :

1. Matter is made of small particles of atoms or molecules.

2. The particles of matter have space between them. The spaces between the particles are least in solids as they are closely packed together but are greatest in gases whose particles are far apart from each other.

3. The particles of matter are in constant motion at all times. Solids particles are not free to move due to strong molecular forces between the particles, but are constantly vibrating in their mean positions. Liquid particles free to move due to lesser molecular forces while gas molecules which have negligible intermolecular forces have the greatest ability to move.

4. The particles of matter are attracted to each other by intermolecular forces. These forces are greatest in solids and least in gases.

The correct option is B.
