In the table below, which statement would best fill the missing box under isolated systems?

Open system

Matter freely moves

Energy freely moves

Isolated system

Matter does not freely move

A-Energy is variable

b-energy is not exchanged

C-Energy freely moves

D-Energy is destroyed

b-energy is not exchanged

Explanation:

An isolated system is a thermodynamic system in which neither energy nor matter is exchanged with the surroundings.

As such the best statement that will fill the box under an isolated system is that energy is not exchanged.

In an open system, both matter and energy are exchanged with the surrounding. A closed system is one in which energy transfer is permissible but matter is not exchanged. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed in any system. They are simply transformed.
