• B. The particles of matter have spaces between them.
• C. The particles of matter are in stationary state.
• D. The particles of matter attract each other

Answer 1

The correct option is C

The particles of matter are in stationary state.

Concept:

Matter: Anything that occupies space and has mass.

Property of particles of a matter:

1. The particles of matter attract each other.
2. The particles of matter are very, very small.
3. The particles of matter are constantly moving.
4. The particles of matter have inter-particle spaces between them.

The explanation for the correct option :

Option-(C) The particles of matter are in a stationary state: particles are constantly moving, therefore it is not the property of matter.

The explanation for incorrect options:

Option-(A):The particles of matter are extremely small

Option(B): The particles of matter have spaces between them.

Option-(D): The particles of matter attract each other

all are Properties of particles of matter.

Option (C)-The particles of matter are in a stationary state and are not properties of matter
