Which of the following statements concerning the states of matter is NOT true?

A. Plasmas are high-temperature collections of ions and free electrons.

B. Solids are the least compressible due to the more rigid positions of the particles.

C. Gases have no definite volume and expand to fill their containers

D. Liquids have no definite shape and no definite volume.

Answer Explanation:

Liquids have no definite shape, but they do have a definite volume. While the particles of liquids move more freely than those in solids, they do maintain a definite volume.

  • Q #3: Which of the following molecules exhibits ionic bonding?

    A. NaCl

    B. CO2

    C. C6H12O6

    D. H2O

    Answer Explanation

    Sodium chloride exhibits lonic bonding due to the attraction between Na+ ions and Cl- ions.

    Typically, elements on the opposite sides of the periodic table (a metal and a nonmetal) form ionic bonds. Carbon dioxide, water, and glucose exhibit covalent bonding. Typically, elements on the same side of the periodic table (two or more nonmetals) form covalent bonds.
