States of Matter
The substance that constitutes everything in the universe is known as matter. Matter comprises atoms which in turn are composed of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Different atoms combine together to give rise to molecules that act as a foundation for all kinds of substances. There are five states of matter based on their energies of attraction, namely solid, liquid, gases, plasma, and BEC (Bose-Einstein condensates).
Chemical Reactions and Equations
When a chemical species is transformed into another chemical species it is said to have undergone a chemical reaction. It consists of breaking existing bonds and forming new bonds by changing the position of electrons. These reactions are best explained using a chemical equation.
![### Boiling Point Question
**Question:**
Which of the following pure substances has the highest normal boiling point?
1. ○ H₂O
2. ○ CF₄
3. ○ CsF
4. ○ CaF₂
5. ○ KF
**Explanation:**
This question asks students to identify which of the given pure substances has the highest boiling point under normal conditions. The boiling point is the temperature at which a substance transitions from a liquid to a gas. Factors influencing boiling points include molecular weight, type of bonding (e.g., ionic, covalent), and intermolecular forces (e.g., hydrogen bonding, Van der Waals forces).](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F04c71680-7fa8-4822-a761-dbcd79126143%2Fd0d85cd2-d026-4b72-ae9a-03b09ed6db44%2F5atn8g_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
