The degree of order of matter is directly proportional to the cohesive forces that hold the matter together. In other words, the more organized the state of matter, the stronger the “glue” that holds it together. Given the above which one of the states has the strongest cohesive forces? A. Liquid
B. Solid
C. All states must have the same cohesive forces
D. Gas

B. Solid

Explanation:

As the problem states, the stronger the cohesive forces of a substance, the more ordered that substance is.

Asking which state has the strongest cohesive forces is the same as asking which state is the most organized.

Solids are more organized than liquids (as solids have a definite shape and volume). Liquids are more organized than gases (as liquids have a definite volume).

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
