A substance in a specific state of matter was transferred from a cylindrical-shaped container to a cube-shaped container. The substance took different shapes in each container. Which of following could be another characteristic of the substance? (4 points) a
It is partially compressible.

b
Its particles are arranged in a fixed pattern.

c
It has very strong intermolecular forces between particles.

d
Its particles move up and down without changing their position.

conduction is the transfer of thermal energy (heat in transfer) due to collisions between the molecules in the object. collisions between adjacent atoms and molecules transfer kinetic energy from the warmer to the cooler object. the objects must be in physical contact.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
