Question

describing the states of matter (pages 68-70)
on the sun, where temperatures are extremely high, matter exists in a state known as __________.

○ plasma
○ liquid
○ condensation

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the states of matter. Plasma is a state of matter that exists at extremely high temperatures (like on the sun), where particles are ionized. Liquid is a state with definite volume but no definite shape, not related to extreme sun temperatures. Condensation is a phase change (gas to liquid), not a state of matter. So the correct answer is plasma.

Answer:

A. plasma
