Question 42 • Physics

Which properties can be used to determine whether a substance is a liquid or a plasma? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
the compressibility of the substance
B
the charge of the substance’s particles
C
the distance between the substance’s particles
D
the container of the substance
E
the color of the substance
F
the mass of the substance

Explanation

A liquid is difficult to compress because its particles are close together, while a plasma is much more spread out. Plasma particles are ionized and carry electric charge; liquid particles are generally neutral. So compressibility, particle charge, and the distance between particles can help distinguish a liquid from a plasma.
