Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The characteristics of molecule that changes in magnitude from one state to another and is largely responsible for a compound to be gas, liquid, or solid is to be stated.
Concept Introduction:
Solid is a
The liquid is a state of matter in which molecules are packed loosely than that in solid and they are able to move around. That’s why liquids are able to take the shape of its container. For example, water and alcohol.
Gas is a state of matter in which molecules are spread all over the space with very high kinetic energy leading to undefined shape and undefined volume and hence, can be easily compressed. For example, oxygen and nitrogen.

Introduction to Chemistry
- Condensation occurs when liquid phase of a substance is converted to its gaseous phase true/falsearrow_forwardCohesion happens between all molecules in a liquid, but because the molecules in the middle of the droplet pull each equally in all directions they generally cancel each out. This strong inward force causing molecules on the surface to contract and resist being pulled apart. This is known as surface tension. Based on this information. Answer the question .arrow_forwardWhich of the following physical processes are exothermicfor water—freezing, boiling, condensing, subliming,evaporating?arrow_forward
- What is formed when gas is enclosed in a chamber then liquified under very high pressure? * What latent heat value signifies the lost of heat during a phase change? What is the unique temperature and pressure at which the three phases of a substance are in equilibrium with each other? * Which liquid crystal is of pharmaceutical significance? *arrow_forwardCc.34.arrow_forwardExplain what determines a substance’s state at a giventemperature.arrow_forward
- Identify the true statements about surface tension. Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid. Water forming a droplet as it falls from a faucet is a primary example of surface tension. Mercury has a lower surface tension than water. Surface tension increases as the temperature of the liquid rises. Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.arrow_forwardThere are three sets of sketches below, showing the same pure molecular compound (ammonia, molecular formula NH₂) at three different temperatures. The sketches are drawn as if a sample of ammonia were under a microscope so powerful that individual atoms could be seen. Only one sketch in each set is correct. Use the slider to choose the correct sketch in each set. You may need the following information: melting point of NH3: -77.7 °C boiling point of NH₁: -33.3 °C B (Choose one) (Choose one) (Choose one) -59, °C -89, °C 54, °Carrow_forwardFilter paper is most often used in the laboratory to separate two different types of solids. solids from liquids. gases from solids. two different types of liquids.arrow_forward
