Which choice can be a solid, liquid, or a gas?

a. steel

b. silver

c. water

d. carbon dioxide

I believe that your option C would be the correct answer. We know that water can turn to a solid materail because during cold temperatures, water turns to ice.

We know that water can turn to gas, as water can evaporate.

And also, we know that water is obviosly a liquid.

Therefore, Option C would be your answer.

? you expect us to answer this? ? this is your schoolwork, i don't think we can with this, i think it would considering being

"among the transition metal elements, manganese and zinc have a slight lowering of electronegativities. the reason behind this is that the nuclear charges of these elements are slightly weaker than the other transition metal elements due to the way their valence electrons are filled up. both manganese and zinc have their valence electrons filled up to the 4th shell with 1 pair of electrons (4s2) completely occupying it. although the electrons in the 3rd shell (3d) are yet to be paired since the outer most shell is filled up, the ability of the nucleus to attract electrons is lessened. hence,   the electronegativity (or the ability to attract electrons) is lessened."
