Consider the following statements regarding matter. 1. Matter is made up of small particles 2. The forces of attraction between the particles in matter are maximum in gases. 3. Evaporation does not cause cooling. 4. The matter around us exists in three states: solid, liquid and gas, Which of the statements given above is/are correct? Correct Answer 1 and 4

The correct answer is 1 and 4.

Key Points

  • Matter
    • The matter is made up of small particles. Hence statement 1 is correct.
    • The forces of attraction between the particles in the matter are minimum in gases. ​Hence statement 2 is not correct.
    • Evaporation cause cooling. Hence statement 3 is not correct.
    • The matter around us exists in three states: solid, liquid and gas. ​Hence statement 4 is correct.

​​​Additional Information

  • Matter can be classified as solid, liquid, and gas on the basis of interparticle forces and the arrangement of particles.
  • These three forms of matter are interconvertible by increasing or decreasing pressure and temperature. 
    • For example, ice can be converted from a solid to a liquid by increasing the temperature.
