Chapter 2, Problem 1RQ
All physical objects are composed of __________.
- a. substances
- b. matter
- c. neutrons
- d. ketons
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
All physical objects are composed of __________.
Explanation of Solution
Fundamental constituents that are named as elements are combined together to form a matter. The matter constituents are combined together to form a physical object. The physical object is may be wood, iron, cloth, solid, gas, and liquid. Hence, all physical components are made up of matter.
Thus, the correct answer is “option b. matter”.

Assume that there is only one way to occupy any one of these levels. Calculate the relative probability that a hydrogen atom in thermal equilibrium in a star, at temperature T = 9493 K, is in its first excited state (at -3.4 eV) relative to its ground state (at -13.6 eV). Write your answer in exponential form. Recall that Boltzmann's constant can be written as 8.617 x 10-5 eV K-1arrow_forwardA metal spoon and a wooden spoon are left overnight in a room. Why do we feel colder when we touch the metal spoon than when we touch the wooden one? a. Since metals usually have a lower heat capacity than non-metals, the metal spoon loose more heat to the room and consequently has a lower temperature b. Metals release heat faster than non-metals because of their higher thermal conductivity c. This is merely psychological since we are conditioned to think of metals as “cold” d. Metals absorb heat faster than non-metals because of their higher thermal conductivityarrow_forward
