Technically there is only one phase unless you account for a solution where you have a pure liquid with something dissolved in it. Unless you count aqueous as a phase which is just dissolved. Since you are in high school the answer you are looking for is one. <span />
Answer: The wire is still copper and does not change by cutting it
Explanation:
Democritus postulated that all materials were composed of these tiny particles called as "atomos".
Daltons postulates are:.
1. All matter is made of very tiny particles called atoms.
2. Atoms is indivisible.
3. Atoms of a given element are identical in mass and chemical properties.
4. Atoms of different elements have different masses and chemical properties.
5. Atoms combine in the ratio of small whole numbers to form compounds.
6. The relative number and kinds of atoms are constant in a given compound.
Thus when copper wire is cut into the smallest possible pieces, the atoms were intact as they are indivisible and all atoms have same mass and chemical properties.Thus the wire is still copper and does not change by cutting it
Answer:
Bonds between atoms are broken/ or new bonds are formed
Explanation:
Due to chemical changes.
Answer:
Explanation:
It is easier if you convert the kelvin temperature into Celsius degrees:
- ºC = T - 273.15 = 150 - 273.15 = -123.15ºC
Now, you know that that is a very cold temperature. Thus, may be the oxygen is not gas any more but it changed to liquid . . . or solid?
You must search for the boiling point and melting (freezing) point of oxygen in tables or the internet. At standard pressure (about 1 atm) they are:
- Melting point: −218.79 °C,
- Boiling point: −182.962 °C
That means that:
- below -218.79ºC oxygen is solid (not our case).
- between -218.79ºC and -182.962ºC oxygen is liquid (not our case)
- over -182.962ºC oxygen is a gas. This is our case, because -123.15ºC is a higher temperature than -182.962ºC.
Hence, <em>the state of matter of oxygen at 150K</em>, and standard pressure, is gas.
