Which state of matter has particles that slide past each other while remaining in contact? gas liquid plasma solid

This state of matter as described is that of the liquid phase. The molecules making up the liquid are not near, yet also not far. As a result, these molecules just slide past each other. In contrast, molecules of gas do not technically slide past each other, but collide with each other because of high kinetic energy.

Answer : option c) heat is released during the process.explanation :

the enthalpy of formation of water is given as -285.8kj/mol, which states that the enthalpy of formation is negative.

negative enthalpy of formation indicates that the heat is released during the reaction process. the heat is released from reaction to the surroundings the enthalpy is expressed with a negative sign with the energy given out in the reaction process.

the formation of water takes place by giving out heat which is -285.8 kj/mol.

The answer is c) pyrite
