<span>When an electron is hit by a photon of lights,it absorbs the quanta of energy the photon was carrying and moves to a higher energy state.Electrons therefore have to jump around within the atom as they either gain or lose energy.</span>
Answer:
Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume.
In addition to solids and liquids, gases are also a physical state in which matter can occur. All gases have weight. Unlike solids and liquids, gases will occupy the entire container that encloses them.
matter is "anything that has mass and volume (occupies space)
<em>Gases have mass. The space between gas particles is empty. Gases can be formed as products in chemical reactions. Gas particles can form bonds between them under certain conditions</em>
<em> Gases have volume which isn't fixed </em>(no fixed volume)<em> and no fixed shape. Gases expand to fill the space available. They can also be compressed into a very small space.</em>
Explanation:
The state of matter that the particles move independently of one another with very little attraction is, I believe, gas
-- There are 80 protons in the nucleus of every atom of Mercury,
but only 8 of them in the nucleus of an atom of Oxygen.
-- Mercury must be warmer than 357°C in order to boil, but Oxygen
must only be warmer than -183°C.
-- Mercury must be colder than -39°C in order to freeze, but Oxygen
must be colder than -219°C.
-- Oxygen is required for human life. Mercury is a deadly poison.
