1NA Kinetic Particle Theory Quiz

The three states of matter are

• solid, vapour, gas

• solid, liquid, gas

• fluid, vapour, droplet

• water, ice, solid

In which state do particles slide past each other?

• liquid

• vapour

• gaseous

• solid

In which state do particles move rapidly in random directions?

• liquid

• ice

• solid

• gas

Particles have the highest kinetic energy in this state.

• gas

• liquid

• semi-solid

• solid

Particles have the strongest forces of attraction between them in this state.

• gas

• liquid

• semi-solid

• solid

Which of the following is not correct about the particles in an ice cube?

• The particles are closely packed in an orderly manner.

• The particles are able to vibrate only at their fixed positions

• The particles have strong forces between each other.

• The particles are far apart from one another.

Which of the following involves a change of state from solid to gas?

• melting

• condensation

• boiling

• sublimation

Which of the following correctly describes the particles in a sugar cube when the cube is heated until it melts?

• The particles start to break away from their fixed positions and move freely within small spaces.

• The particles become disorderly and move rapidly and randomly.

• The particles become widely spaced in a regular arrangement.

• The particles come closer together.

During boiling, particles will start to

• gain energy and move more rapidly

• gain energy and move slowly

• lose energy and move more rapidly

• lose energy and move slowly

The following are examples of condensation except for

• water droplets on the underside of the lid of a hot pot

• morning dew

• water freezing into ice

• glasses becoming 'misty' after stepping out of air-con room
