Respuesta :

B - The substance is in the liquid state

The symbols for the states of matter in Chemistry are as follows:

  • (aq) aqueous or dissolved in water
  • (g) gas
  • (s) solid
  • (Δ) yields heat
  • (l) liquid

Thus, if the symbol that follows is (l), then that means that the element is in a liquid state.

Hope this helps!
