Lesson 1: Changing States of Matter Quiz

The particles in a solid have which properties? Check all that apply.

• rigid with fixed shape

• particles are close together and vibrating

• cannot be squashed

• are always colorful

The properties of a liquid are (check all that apply).

• shape is able to change

• particles are fairly close

• particles are have more movement than a solid

• are only found at room temperature

Gases have which of these properties (check all that apply)

• particles are the most free to move of all three states

• have no fixed shape

• always give off a smell

• have no fixed volume

Ice changes from a solid state to a liquid state because

• the particles just decide it's time for a change

• the particles are slowing down and becoming closer together

• the particles are speeding up and their bonds breaking until they change states

• Trump said the liquid state was better

Liquids change to a gas because the particles

• water vapor is a type of gas

• the particles cool down and the bonds increase causing them to become a gas

• gas is a funny word

• the particles are heated up to the point where the bonds break apart and become a gas

Water vapor collects on surfaces as a liquid because

• the temperature of the gas decreases causing the particles to become closer together until they become a liquid

• it is fun to write in the steam in the mirror

• the temperature of the liquid is increasing until the gas forms

• water vapor in the bathroom is a type of cloud

What are the four points of the Particle Theory?

• all matter is made up of tiny particles

• the tiny particles are always moving and vibrating
