Shape
A gas is shapeless all other things being equal. It will, if put in a container, occupy every part of the container.
A liquid could also be thought of shapeless. If put in a container, it need not occupy the entire container. It will occupy as much as its calculated volume will permit it to occupy.
A solid will only occupy its original shape.
Volume
A gas will occupy whatever container it is put in within limits. You cannot put a 72 mols of gas in a mm^3 container without some amazing ability to apply a lot of pressure.
A liquid will occupy a volume determined by its density and mass. In general liquids cannot be compressed.
Whatever volume a solid has to start with, it will retain that volume all other things being equal.
This is actually very hard to describe.
Explanation:
When an atom has an equal number of electrons and protons, it has an equal number of negative electric charges (the electrons) and positive electric charges (the protons). The total electric charge of the atom is therefore zero and the atom is said to be neutral. ... Chemically, we say that the atoms have formed bonds.
1. A mixture of ammonium chloride, sand, and zinc chloride should be separated by sublimation.
2. A mixture of zinc chloride and silver chloride should be separated through crystallization.
<h3>What is a separation technique?</h3>
A separation technique can be defined as a technique that is typically used to separate or convert two (2) or more mixture and solution of chemical substances into distinct product such as chemical compounds or elements.
<h3>The types of
separation technique.</h3>
In Chemistry, there are various types of separation technique used for the separation of mixtures or solutions and these include:
In this scenario, the most effective and efficient means to separate a mixture of ammonium chloride, sand, and zinc chloride is by sublimation from solid to gas state.
On the other hand, the best means to separate a mixture of zinc chloride and silver chloride is through crystallization.

In the physical properties, it is mentioned that the element has 4 valence electrons. The elements in the periodic table are arranged such that, the number of valence electrons present in the neutral atoms belonging to a particular group is equal to the group number.
Thus, the unidentified element can be best classified as a nonmetal in period 4
