Answer from: taleiayarbough9783

Answer with Explanation:

The units used to express the densities of gases are different from those of solids and liquids because the particles in gas are widely separated from each other, unlike the particles in solid and liquid which are almost the same. The particles in solid are very close together. Considering it melts (if it's an ice), it will turn into a liquid and the change in volume is slightly greater only. However, if the liquid evaporates and transitions into a gas, the volume becomes largely different from its solid and liquid state. This is because the particles are much farther apart and free to move.

Answer from: Quest

water molecules stay close to each other through cohesion, the collective action of hydrogen bonds between water molecules. cohesion plants draw water upwards from the root through the stem's transport tubes (xylem) to the leaf. this transport occurs even in large trees and against gravity. transpiration, evaporation of water from plant leaves, creates a tension on water molecules being pulled up from the stem and roots.

water also has high (the attraction of one substance to another) properties because of its polar nature. adhesion of water molecules to plant cell walls counteract gravity while water is transported from roots to leaves.

water exhibits a very high surface tension when compared to other liquids. surface tension is a property of a liquid that holds the surface together and allows it to resist an external force. by capillary action, the water forms concave menisci inside the pores. the high surface tension of water pulls the concavity outwards, generating enough force to lift water from the roots to the leaves of plants.

thus, cohesion, along with adhesion and surface tension creates a capillary action that keeps water molecules interacting and moving through the plants out to the leaf cells.

therefore, option d) is the correct answer.
