The substance X normally exists in a physical state which can flow easily but does not fill its vessel completely. It also turns anhydrous copper sulphate blue. When substance X is cooled excessively, it changes into a substance Y which has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume, If, however, the substance X is heated strongly, it changes into a substance Z which has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.

Q. The substance X normally exists in a physical state which can flow easily but does not fill its vessel completely. It also turns anhydrous copper sulphate blue. When substance X is cooled excessively, it changes into a substance Y which has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. If, however, the substance X is heated strongly, it changes into a substance Z which has neither a fixed shape nor a fixed volume.

There are three substances X, Y and Z. The substance X does not have a fixed melting point or boiling point and it still shows the individual properties of its constituents. The substance Y is a pure substance which occurs in nature as such. The substance Y has a fixed melting point and boiling point but it cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical means. The substance Z is also a pure substance whose properties are entirely different from those of its constituents. The substance Z can, however, be divided by electrolysis into two substances which belong to the same class of substances as Y.

(a) What type of substance could X be? Name one substance like X.

(b) What type of substance could Y be? Name one substance like Y.

(d) Which process involves absorption or release of an appreciable amount of energy: formation of substances X or formation of substance Z?

(e) Name the three groups into which all the substances like Y are divided on the basis of their properties.

The scientists now say that there are actually five states of matter A, B, C, D and E. The state A has a fixed volume but no fixed shape. The sate B can be compressed very easily by applying pressure and state C has a fixed shape as well as a fixed volume. The state D is a mixture of free electrons and ions whereas state E is named after an Indian scientist and a famous Physicist.

(a) Name the physical states (i) A (ii) B (iii) C (iv) D and (v) E.

(b) Name one substance belonging to state C which can directly change into vapours on heating. What is this process known as?

(d) Name the most common substance belonging to state A.

(e) Which state of matter makes the sun and other stars to glow?

Q. A substance X dissolves very fast when put into a solvent Y at
