Answer 2

Answer:

Nitrogen substance can expand to the greatest extent.

Explanation:

• The substance's expansion depends on the intermolecular spaces present between the molecules.

• Which substance has higher intermolecular spaces, can expand greater.

• Expansion of substance  in a decreasing way is as follows:

      Gas > Liquid > Solid

• Copper is a solid compound, so it has fewer spaces between molecules, so expansion is the least when heat is applied.

• While copper sulphate and acetic acid are liquid, so intermolecular spaces between molecules are more than solid and less than gas, so expansion is more than solid but less than gas when heat is applied.

• Nitrogen is a gas, so intermolecular spaces are most between molecules and that's why expansion is more when heat is applied.

So, nitrogen is the correct answer which can expand to the greatest extent.
