The elements oxygen and sulfur have similar chemical properties because they both have six electrons in their outermost electron shells. Indeed, both elements form molecules with two hydrogen atoms, water (H2O) and hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Surprisingly, at room temperature, water is a liquid, yet H2S is a gas, despite sulfur being much larger and heavier than oxygen. Explain why this might be the case.
Palladium is named after the asteroid Pallas, forms a gaseous compound of the formula Pd(CO)x What is the
value of x given the fact that under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, methane (CH4)
?effuses 4.1 times faster than the compound
Hydrocarbons with 5 carbons (pentane) and 19 carbons (nonadecane) are liquids
at room temperature. The molecules with 8, 9, and 10-carbons are "octane",
"nonane", and "decane" and are common components of gasoline. The image
below shows chemical equations for the combustion of the simplest
hydrocarbon methane, 3-carbon propane, and 10-carbon decane. As you can
see, the products are always carbon dioxide and water, just in larger amounts for
larger hydrocarbons. Question: how many carbon dioxide molecules are formed
from combustion of one molecule of decane?
Methane
CH4 + 202 → CO2 + 2H2O
Propane
C3H3 +502 –
→ 3CO2+4H2O
C10 H22 + 15.502
10CO2 + 11H20
Decane

- Another fossil-fuel gas used in cooking appliances is "propane", used commonly in backyard grills and RV/camping stoves. Propane is a bigger hydrocarbon: 3 carbons single-bonded in a chain, and the remaining bonds are taken by hydrogen. Its formula is C3H8 and its structure is shown below. KEY POINT: the products are the same as the combustion of methane, but more is produced. The graphic below shows that one propane molecule reacts with 5 oxygen molecules to form molecules of carbon dioxide.

Plasma, the "fourth state," is characterized by lack of shape, and it cannot be classified as gas, liquid, or solid. Examples of plasma are plasma ball and the contents of a fluorescent bulb.

It is called Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC), but in Grade 3, the focus of study is only on the three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Let us have some exercises on grouping of matter.
