Question

The various states of matter can be interchanged into one another by altering the conditions of volume.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

There are three states of matter : Solid, Liquid and Gas.

• These states of matter are interconvertible under some conditions.
• The conditions of temperature and pressure are very important for these states.
• Because on altering the conditions of temperature and pressure, the interparticle space gets affected and thus the strength of interparticle forces of attraction changes between them.

For example: If the gas particles are subjected to low temperature and high pressure, the interparticle space decreases and force of attraction increases due to which it gets liquify. Thus, a gas converts into liquid under the conditions of high pressure and low temperature.
