Why do gases exert pressure on the walls of container as in 9th Science Chapter 1?

In the gaseous state, the particles move about randomly at high speed and because of this random movement, the particles hit each other and also the walls of the container. That is why, they exert pressure on the walls of container.

What do you understand by latent heat of fusion given in NCERT Class 9 Science Chapter 1?

The amount of heat energy that is required to change 1 kg of a solid into liquid at atmospheric pressure at its melting point is known as the latent heat of fusion.

What is Dry Ice according to 9th Science chapter 1?

Solid CO2 gets converted directly to gaseous state on decrease of pressure to 1 atmosphere without coming into liquid state. This is known as Dry Ice.

What do you know about the state of Plasma as given in 9th Science Chapter 1?

The state consists of super energetic and super excited particles. These particles are in the form of ionised gases. The plasma glows with a special colour depending on the nature of gas. The Sun and the stars glow because of the presence of plasma in them. The plasma is created in stars because of very high temperature.
