Some characteristics of each of the four states of matter are given in the table below.

States of Matter

State Are Particles Charged? Space Between Particles

1 No Very Low

2 Yes High

3 No High

4 No Low

Which state of matter does State 4 represent?

A. Gas

B. Liquid

C. Plasma

D. Solid

Matter can be classified into four states:

1) Solid: This state is composed of uncharged particles that are held together very closely in a regular arrangement by strong intermolecular forces of attraction.

2) Liquid: Like solids, this state is also composed of uncharged particles. However, compared to the solids these lie farther apart and are held by relatively weaker forces

3) Gas: In this state, the interacting particles are uncharged and have a lot of space between them to move freely.

4) Plasma: This is the fourth state of matter composed of highly charged particles which are far apart from each other and possess high kinetic energies.

Based on the given characteristics:

In State 4 the particles are uncharged with a relatively low separation between them. This corresponds to the liquid state.

Ans: B

It's a Liquid! Sorry if it's too late!
