Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The physical states that correspond to the pictorial representation are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
A substance which has some mass and occupies space is termed as matter. It exists in three physical states that are solid, liquid and gas. The force of attraction between atoms determines the
Answer to Problem 1CE
The illustration A, B, C represents the solid state, liquid state and gaseous state respectively.
Explanation of Solution
The given figure is shown below.
Figure 1
Illustration A is a solid state as the force of attraction between atoms is very strong and the atoms are in a definite shape. On the other hand, illustration B is a liquid state as the atoms are far from each other because the force of attraction between atoms is less. The illustration C represents the gaseous state as atoms are very far from each other because the force of attraction between atoms is negligible.
Illustration A, B, C represents solid state, liquid state and gaseous state respectively.
