Concept explainers
Whether the given statement is true or false.
Answer to Problem 14A
The statement is false.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Atoms of same element or different elements combine to form a molecule.
A person will be able to detect the molecules in the air through his smelling sense.
For example, human noose clearly identifies the noxious gas such as ammonia, sulphur dioxide, and ether.
For example, the perfume smell does not attract the nose. Actually, the molecules of the perfume get evaporated and spread in all the direction and modify itself from liquid perfume to become fractional molecules in air.
Conclusion:
Thus, the statement is false.
