Question
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5.
Chemistry is the science of molecules and theirtransformations. It is the science not so much of the one hundred elements but of the infinite variety of molecules thatmay be built from them. Chemistry plays a central role in science andis often intertwined with other branches ofscience.to understand thebasic concepts of chemistry, which begin withthe concept of matter. Let us start with thenature of matter. matter can exist in threephysical states viz. solid, liquid and gas.Particles are held very close to each otherin solids in an orderly fashion and there is notmuch freedom of movement. In liquids, theparticles are close to each other but they canmove around. However, in gases, the particlesare far apart as compared to those present insolid or liquid states and their movement iseasy and fast. different states of matter exhibitthe following characteristics:
Every substance has unique or characteristic properties. These properties can be classified into two categories — physical properties, such as colour, odour, melting point, boiling point, density, etc., and chemical properties, like composition, combustibility, ractivity with acids and bases, etc. Physical properties can be measured or observed without changing the identity or the composition of the substance. The measurement or observation of chemical properties requires a chemical change to occur. Measurement of physical properties does not require occurance of a chemical change.

- Solids have definite volume and definiteshape.
- Liquids have definite volume but do nothave definite shape. They take the shapeof the container in which they are placed.
- Gases have neither definite volume nordefinite shape. They completely occupy thespace in the container in which they are placed.
