There are three substances $X, Y$ and $Z$. The substance $X$ does not have a fixed melting point or boiling point and it still shows the individual properties of its constituents. The substance $Y$ is a pure substance which occurs in nature as such. The substance $Y$ has a fixed melting point and boiling point but it cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical means. The substance $Z$ is also a pure substance whose properties are entirely different from those of its constituents. The substance $Z$ can, however, be divided by electrolysis into two substances which belong to the same class of substances as $Y$.
→- What type of substance could $X$ be? Name one substance like $X$.
- What type of substance could $Y$ be? Name one substance like $Y$.
- What type of substance could $Z$ be? Name one substance like $Z$.
- Whish process involves absorption or release of an appreciable amount of energy: formation of substance $X$ or formation of substance $Z$?
- Name the three groups into which all the substances like $Y$ are divided on the basis of their properties.
