Question

Which determines the state of matter for any material?

A.
the size of the atoms

B.
the hardness of the material

C.
the behavior of the molecules

D.
the weight of the material

Answer 1

Next time, I would post this in the chemistry section. But What do you think?
Think of this:
When atoms have LOTS of energy, they're going crazy. They're moving faster and they begin to become more spread out, almost like a gas! But when they have less energy, they become less fluid and solidify as they start to become packed together.

So what did I describe? I didn't mention size, nor weight of it the molecules/atoms. Did I ever mention if they were "hard?" Atoms don't necessarily have a hardness factor. So what do you think?

Answer 2

I would but i don't get help there

Answer 3

I doubt that -- there are plenty of people who help with 100x more complicated material. I would try again and try bumping your question in case there was a rush of questions and some people missed it. That happens sometimes.

So what do you think, after the information I gave you?

Answer 4

That makes sense its c because you where talking about behaviour.

Answer 5

is it ok if you help me with more?

Answer 6

I can try.

Answer 7

ok.

Answer 8

its the otherone

Answer 9

Do you have a hunch for which one? Not a guess - but what do you think it might be? Use the information that I gave you from the previous question ^ It also applies here conveniently enough.

Answer 10

i think,its a.

Answer 11

Was i right?"

Answer 12

Hmm, definitely a tricky one indeed. I would say that it's the last one. Indeed, the particles do move freely, but they don't generally combine. If they began to combine, we'd see that the gas would start to form bigger and bigger particles, and eventually it would start to slow down.
Gas particles usually bounce off of each other because of how much energy they have. They move so quickly that they don't get a chance to even combine with other atoms and particles.

Answer 13

Ohh.

Answer 14

your better then my science teacher.

Answer 15

A scary thought, since I'm only a college student X)
