Interpretation:
The relevance of the given quote to solids and liquids is to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Solid, liquid and gas are the three common
When these forces start decreasing, the state changes from solid to liquid. This is termed as melting. On further decrease in the intermolecular forces, the liquid state changes to a gaseous state. This is termed as vaporization. Some substances bypass the liquid state and is directly converted from the solid state to the gaseous state. This process is termed as sublimation.
There are a number of intermolecular forces, such as, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, dispersion forces etc.

- A sample of matter that is “rigid” has (stronger/weaker) forces among the particles in the sample than does a sample that is not rigid.arrow_forwardIf we classify substances as ionic, molecular, macromolecular, or metallic, in which if any categories are all the members a. soluble in water? b. electrical conductors in the melt? c. insoluble in all common solvents? d. solids at room temperature?arrow_forwardSuppose that you are closing a cabin in the north woods for the winter and you do not want the water in the toilet tank to freeze. You know that the temperature might get as low as 30. C, and you want to protect about 4.0 L water in the toilet tank from freezing. Calculate the volume of ethylene glycol (density = 1.113 g/mL; molar mass = 62.1 g/mol) you should add to the 4.0 L water.arrow_forward
- The radius of a aluminum atom is 143 pm. How many aluminum atoms would have to be laid side by side to span a distance of 4.38 mm?arrow_forwardSublimation, dissolving, and filtration can only be carried out in:* soluble-substances in solution insoluble substances in liquids liquid-liquid mixtures O solid-solid mixturesarrow_forwardThe study of the structure of a material can be carried out at four different levels. The first is the subatomic level, which studies the atom individually and the behavior of its nucleus and electrons. The second level is the atomic level, which studies the interaction between several atoms and the formation of bonds and molecules. The third level is the microscopic level, which corresponds to the atomic and molecular arrangements and the formation of crystalline, molecular, and amorphous structures. Finally, the macroscopic level relates to the material's behavior in service. (CALLISTER JR., W. D.; RETHWISCH, D. G. Materials Science and Engineering: An Introduction. 8th ed. Rio de Janeiro: LTC Publisher, 2013). Regarding the basic concepts of materials science, mark the correct option: One of the basic concepts of materials science concerns how the atoms, molecules, or ions that constitute a material are spatially organized. This is the concept of material composition. Basic…arrow_forward
- Taking into account that the spheres represent atoms, indicate:a) if the represented systems correspond to mixtures or notb) if the substances are simple or compound.c) In what state of aggregation are they?arrow_forwardChlorine gas and solid potassium combine to produce solid potassium chloride. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction.arrow_forwardPart II. Complete each statement below by filling in the blanks with the correct words found from the puzzle. 1. Gases, like any other states of matter, consist of very tiny particles, each of which has mass that are very far from each other. Thus, making gases high compressible and have low density. 2. Gas particles move rapidly in straight lines, travel constantly in random directions. 3. Gases diffuse rapidly that allows two or more gases to mix readily when combined. Because of the wide spaces between gas particles, the forces of attraction between them are 4. The is conserved in elastic collision of gas particles. Thus, particles of gases that collide each other or with the walls of its container do not lose kinetic energy, instead, it is only transferred to the lower-energy particle and continue to move. 5. The average energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.arrow_forward
- What is Heterogeneous substance? Give an example?arrow_forwardSuppose you are performing an experiment in which you are insructed to mix 10 g of a unknown solid 50 mL of unknown liquid. Upon mixing the two substances you find that thhe solid disappears. If you are to presume this change was merely physical in nature. How would you go about seperating the two components to recover as much of starting materials as possible?arrow_forwardThe behavior of matter is determined by the properties of molecules and atoms.
