Question

Choose the correct option.
Statement 1: Plasma and BEC are the two modern states of matter.
Statement 2: The difference in various states of matter is due to the difference in the distances between their constituent particles.

• A. Both the statements are true.
• B. Statement 1 is true but statement 2 is false.
• C. Statement 1 is false but statement 2 is true.
• D. Both the statements are false.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both the statements are true.

Matter is made up of particles. As the distances between the particles increases, the substance becomes less dense and physical state changes.
Solids, liquids, and gases are the three major physical states of matter. Following is the order of distance between particles of different states of matter.
Gases > Liquids > Solids.

Plasma and BEC are the two modern states of matter.
