Here are the answers to your questions based on the concepts of molecular theory and states of matter:
Question 1: A) Which statement best describes the usefulness of a model to investigate molecules at the microscopic level?
- Answer: A model’s usefulness depends on the accuracy of its predictions.
Question 2: A) Which correctly orders the strength of the forces between particles of different physical states?
- Answer: solids > liquids > gases
Question 3: A) Which best describes the melting point difference between salt and sugar?
- Answer: The ionic bonds in salt result in a higher melting point than the covalent bonds in sugar.
Question 4: A) Which statement best describes the development of theories that connected microscopic and macroscopic phenomena?
- Answer: It took several hundred years for scientists to develop current theories, and they are still being revised to this day.
Question 5: A) Which best describes how the results of experiments investigating the relationship between microscopic and macroscopic phenomena affect a model of molecular theory?
- Answer: Consistent results support the validity of the model, while inconsistent results indicate the need to modify the model.
