Chapter 1, Problem 1.1VP
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The class of pure substances and the physical state of these substances from the given figures are to be identified.

Concept introduction: The pure substances that are made up of only one type of atom are called elements. Elements do not break down in simpler substances.

The pure substances that are composed of atoms from more than one element held together by chemical bonds are called compounds.

To determine: The class of pure substances and the physical state of these substances from the given figures.

Expert Solution & Answer

Answer to Problem 1.1VP

The pure substances given in Figure 1 are representing the class of compounds and they are in gaseous state.

There are two types of balls given in Figure 2. One is red ball and the other one is blue ball. Both of the two balls are representing the class of elements. The red balls and blue balls given in Figure 2 are in solid and gaseous state respectively.

Explanation of Solution

The first pure substances are given in Figure 1.

Chemistry, Chapter 1, Problem 1.1VP , additional homework tip  1

Figure 1

The pure substances given in Figure 1 are representing the class of compounds because they are composed of atoms from two different elements.

The compounds given in Figure 1 are in gaseous state because they do not have any regular arrangement of molecules and the distance between them is very much so that they can move freely in the container.

The second pure substances are given in Figure 2.

Figure 2

There are two types of balls given in Figure 2. One is red ball and the other one is blue ball. Both of the two balls are representing the class of elements because they are made up of only one type of atom.

The red balls given in Figure 2 are in solid state because they have a regular arrangement of atoms and the distance between them is negligible so that they cannot move freely in the container.

The blue balls given in Figure 2 are in gaseous state because they do not have any regular arrangement of atoms and the distance between them is very much so that they can move freely in the container.

Conclusion

The pure substances given in Figure 1 are representing the class of compounds and they are in gaseous state.

There are two types of balls given in Figure 2. One is red ball and the other one is blue ball. Both of the two balls are representing the class of elements. The red balls and blue balls given in Figure 2 are in solid and gaseous state respectively.
