“Matter Vocabulary” Quiz (P.2.1)

Which of these is the correct definition for plasma?

• Consists of the fastest electrically charged particles (positive and negative ions) with extremely high kinetic energy.

• Anything that has mass and takes up space (has volume).

• Have a definite shape, have very low kinetic energy, particles are held in a regular arrangement, have a small vibration, and have a definite volume.

• Particles have a great deal of space between them and have high kinetic energy, have no definite volume and no definite shape but will take the shape of the container it is in.

Which of these is the correct definition for gas?

• Anything that has mass and takes up space (has volume).

• Have a definite shape, have very low kinetic energy, particles are held in a regular arrangement, have a small vibration, and have a definite volume.

• Will change shape to conform to its container, and has more kinetic energy than those in a solid.  Particles are not held in a regular arrangement, but are still very close to each other so liquids have a definite volume.

• Particles have a great deal of space between them and have high kinetic energy, have no definite volume and no definite shape but will take the shape of the container it is in.

Which of these is the correct definition for a molecule?

• A pure substance made of atoms that are only one kind, or identical, of atoms.

• Describes two or more atoms bonded together (all compounds and some elements can make this).

• Smallest particle that makes up matter.  Everything is made from these.

• A substance made of several types of elements and/or compounds which are mixed (not joined by bonds).
