Question

Most elements are :

• A. Solids
• B. Liquids
• C. Gases
• D. Mixtures

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Solids

The explanation for the correct options:

Option (A): Solids

• Elements: A pure substance which is made up of only one kind of atom.
• The majority of elements are solids, with only 11 gases and six liquids.
• Sodium$\left(\mathrm{Na}\right)$, Carbon($\mathrm{C}$), and Aluminum($\mathrm{Al}$) are examples of solid elements.

The explanation for the incorrect options:

Option(B): Liquids

• There are six liquid elements. Bromine($\mathrm{Br}$), Mercury($\mathrm{Hg}$), Caesium($\mathrm{Cs}$), Gallium($\mathrm{Ga}$), Rubidium($\mathrm{Rb}$), and Francium($\mathrm{Fr}$) are the elements involved.

Option(C): Gases

• At ordinary temperature and pressure, Hydrogen($\mathrm{H}$), Nitrogen ($\mathrm{N}$), Oxygen ($\mathrm{O}$), Fluorine ($\mathrm{F}$), Chlorine ($\mathrm{Cl}$) are gases.

Option(D): Mixture

• Elements combine with each other to form new compounds. So mixture is not possible for elements.

Hence, option (A) Solids is the correct answer.
