Matter Practice

What does the Theory of Conservation of Matter tell us?

• Everything is made up of matter

• Matter is easy to create or destroy

• Bigger items have more matter than smaller items

• Matter cannot be created or destroyed

Anything that has mass and volume is

• Solid

• Matter

• Gravity

• Liquid

The amount of matter in an object is its

• Mass

• Volume

• Energy

• Size

A substance made of only one type of atom (7 letters)

A gas has:

• indefinite volume, indefinite shape

• definite volume, definite shape

• definite volume, indefinite shape

• indefinite volume, charged particles

Sand on the beach is an example of

• heterogeneous mixture

• compound

• homogeneous mixture

• element

Solid objects

• have particles far apart.

• have particles that are close together but flow.

• have particles that are locked in place that may only vibrate in place.

• have particles that are locked in place and stationary.

A compound is

• a combination of several parts that have no visible boundaries and can be separated physically.

• a combination of one or more elements in a fixed ratio.

• a substance that cannot be broken down any further.

• a combination of several parts that have visible boundaries.

These are all examples of homogeneous mixtures except:

• 
• 
• 
• 

An element is

• a substance that cannot be broken down any further

• a compound made up of multiple types of atoms in a fixed ratio

• a combination of material with no visible barriers

• a combination of material with visible barriers.
