- D. plasma
Answer
liquid
Explanation
At 100°C, the substance will be in the liquid state since it has not yet reached its boiling point of 150°C.
Common mistake
The three states of matter correction for Predicting State of Matter.
Students often confuse melting point and boiling point, predicting the wrong state at a given temperature This error matters in The three states of matter because it drifts away from the objective: Predict the state of a substance at a given temperature using melting point and boiling point data.
Correct it by naming the exact chemistry idea, using precise bonding or structure vocabulary, and linking the answer back to The three states of matter. For this objective, students should predict the state of a substance at a given temperature using melting point and boiling point data.
