Question
Chapter 4, Problem 14Q
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
Given hydrocarbons has to be categorized based on their physical state.
Concept Introduction:
Matter exist mainly in 3 states; solid, liquid and gas.
Melting point is the temperature at which solid and liquid form of a substance exists in equilibrium. That is, below the melting point the substance will be solid and above melting point substance will be liquid.
Boiling point is the temperature at which liquid and gas exists in equilibrium. That is, below the boiling point the substance will be liquid and above the boiling point it will be gas.
