Question

which one is not a correct statement about matter.
A.Metal is a particle in nature.
B.The particles of matter have no space between them.
C. The particles of matter are in a state of motion.
D.The particles of matter have force of attraction between them.

Answer 1

Hint:The common and universal definition of matter, is that “matter is anything which has mass and it occupies space, that is, it has a volume”, Now matter is differentiated by the space between their particles.

Complete step by step answer:
Each and everything in nature, which we can sense by our five senses. That is, we can see or feel it is considered a matter in chemistry. Matter is classified in five types that is. Solid, liquid, gas, plasma and Bose Einstein condensate. The three major types of matter which are studied commonly are solid, liquid and gas. The smallest part of matter is considered to be an atom; it was assumed that matter cannot be differentiated any further until the invention of subatomic particles now the difference between the three major types of matter is due to the arrangements of its particle or atom.
Solid: In solid particles or atoms are arranged leaving no space in between, they are attracted by a strong force of attraction. Solid has fixed shape and fixed volume, and particles are arranged in regular patterns.
Liquid: they can flow freely, therefore they can take the shape of any vessel or surface they are kept on. They have no fixed shape but have fixed volume. Particles of liquid are held near each other, but they have space between them.
Gas: they can flow freely in space, also called as fluids. They have neither fixed shape nor fixed volume. The particles of gas have no intermolecular force between them, hence the particles are far apart from each other.
Therefore, it is a false assumption that the particle of matter has no space between them.

Hence, option B is correct.

Note:
two other types of matter, that is plasma- the one which consists of ions and electrons, is the fourth state of matter plasma. Bose Einstein condensate- It is also known as supercooled liquids, for example glass. It is the fifth state of matter.
