The motion of the molecules decreases.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- Gases are formed when the energy in a system overcomes the attractive forces between the molecules. The gases expand to fill the space they occupy. In this way, the gas molecules interact little. In the gaseous state, the molecules move very quickly. As the temperature decreases, the amount of movement of the individual molecules also decreases.
- The fast-moving particle slows down. When a particle speeds up, it has more kinetic energy. When a particle slows down, it has less kinetic energy. The particles in solid form are commonly connected through electrostatic powers. They don't get enough space to move around, therefore, their speed diminishes, they can't keep their standard speed like in the vaporous or fluid state.
The molecular formula will be a multiple of the empirical CH2O. One unit of CH2O has a mass of 12+2*1+16 = 30 g. This means that if our compound has a molecular mass of 180 g/mol, we can divide 180 / 30 = 6 units, and our compound has 6 units of CH2O. This means that its molecular formula is C6H12O6.
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Wood is a mixture of different substances. Primarily it consists of cellulose, lignin, water etc.
When we heat wood then all these substance oxidize into the atmosphere even before they could melt.
Whereas iron, sodium chloride and ethanol all are the substances which can melt at any temperature.
Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, wood, a mixture of different substances is a material that does not melt at any temperature.
