Explanation:

Electrical energy is defined as the energy flowing through a device due to the flow of electrons or charges from one point to another.

The energy present within an object or material due to the sum of its motion and potential energy is known as mechanical energy.

Thermal energy is defined as the energy present within an object because of the motion of its particles.

So, when we plug in and turn on a hair dryer then electrical energy starts to flow. As a result, some of its molecules will gain kinetic energy and some will have potential energy.

Hence, its sum will lead to formation of a mechanical energy. Since, this mechanical energy gets converted into thermal energy due to which hairs get dry.

Thus, we can conclude that the energy transformation that occurs when a hair dryer is plugged in and turned on is that electrical energy transforms into mechanical and thermal energy.

Solids have: fixed shape O A and B fixed size neither A nor B

Answer:

B. A and B

Explanation:

1. Solids have a definite volume, definite size and definite shape

2. The particles present in a solid are very closely packed since the intermolecular forces between them are very strong. The molecules do not move apart.

3. Melting point is the temperature at which solid changes into a liquid.

4. When a solid is heated to the melting point the intermolecular forces are overcome by the energy and the molecules present in it moves from its fixed position to take its liquid state which is called as melting.

Explanation:

Elements that belong to same group contains same number of valence electrons. Hence, they tend to show similar chemical properties.

When we move across a period then number of electrons get added to the same shell. As a result, there will be no increase in size of elements.

Also, metals are the elements that belong to group 1, 2 and d-block elements are also known as metals. Metallic character of elements decreases when we move left to right in a periodic table.

As most reactive metals are placed on the left side of periodic table.

Since, size of elements increases on moving down the group. So, an element is able to easily lose its valence electrons because of less force of attraction between its nucleus and valence electrons.

As a result, there will be increase in reactivity of metals on moving down the group.

Thus, we can conclude that given sentences are as follows.
