Question

What do we mean by elements not in standard states?

Answer 1

Explanation:

The standard states of elements are the forms that they adopt at a temperature of 25°C and pressure of 1 atmosphere (1 atm). These forms of the elements are the reactants in the formation equations of multi-element substances. The heat of formation (∆Hf°) of an element in its standard state is zero.
