Question 5 • Chemistry

A substance is made up of slow-moving particles that have very little space between them. Based on this information, what can most likely be concluded about this substance?

Answer
A
It is a gas because its particles move continuously in a straight line.
B
It is not a gas because its particles do not have large spaces between them.
C
It is a gas because its particles move in many different directions.
D
It is not a gas because its particles do not move continuously.

Explanation

Gas particles are generally far apart, with large spaces between them. Since these particles have very little space between them, the substance is most likely not a gas. Slow movement alone does not determine the state, so choice B is the best conclusion.
