Question

Water, milk, fruit juice, cold drinks are examples of which states of matter?
A.Solid
B.Liquid
C.Gas
D.Plasma

Answer 1

Hint: They belong to that state of matter which has the property of fluidity. The intermolecular forces of attraction are somewhere intermediate between solid and gas.

Complete step by step answer:
Generally, matter exists in different forms. We broadly classified all the matters into three categories that are solid, liquid and gas. Apart from these three main categories there are two more States of matter that are plasma and Bose Einstein condensate. We usually do not encounter these in our daily life.
Solids are that state of matter in which particles are very close to each other. The intermolecular force of attraction between the particles of solid is high. They have a definite shape and definite volume. They are rigid in nature. Examples of solid are solid ice, sugar, salt.
Liquid is a state in which the intermolecular forces of attraction are not very high. Liquids have fixed volume but they do not have any fixed shape. They take up the shape of the container in which they are contained in. They have fluidity. The examples of liquid state are milk, water, juice and cold drink.
In the gases the molecules are far apart from each other. The intermolecular forces of attraction are very less in gases. Then they do not have any fixed volume and shape. They take the shape and volume of the container in which they are contained in. Examples of gases are nitrogen, Oxygen carbon dioxide.
Plasma consists of particles which have a very high kinetic energy. They are known as superheated particles.

The correct option is B.

Note:
The Bose Einstein condensate is also known as super cooled solid. The kinetic energy is very less in bose Einstein condensate. The atoms join together to form a super atom.
