Question 9

Which of these is NOT one of the three most common states of matter?

Accepted Answer

steam

Answer

solid

Answer

liquid

Answer

gas

Question 10

A state of matter is the physical form matter takes on as determined by the

Accepted Answer

arrangement and motion of its atoms or molecules.

Answer

number of atoms or molecules in a particular substance.

Answer

shape of the container holding the atoms or molecules.

Answer

volume of the container surrounding the atoms or molecules.

Question 11

Ice made from water is a solid because the atoms or molecules

Accepted Answer

all of these

Answer

vibrate in place.

Answer

are unable to move around.

Answer

are closely packed and touching.

Question 12

True or False - The gas in this room could be put into a container half the size of the room.

Accepted Answer

True

Answer

False

Question 13

True or False - The particles in a solid don't move at all.

Accepted Answer

False

Answer

True

Question 14

Why are gases easier to compress than liquids?

Accepted Answer

The particles in a gas have a lot of empty space between them and the volume can change. Liquid particles are close together, touching and the volume is fixed, or definite.

Answer

The particles in a gas have no empty space between them and they main a fixed volume. Liquids have a lot of empty space between the particles and the volume can change.

Answer

The particles in a gas have a lot of empty space between them and the volume can change.Liquid particles also have a lot of empty space and the volume can also change.

Answer

The particles in a gas have a lot of empty space between them and cannot take the shape of the container. Liquid particles are close together and can take the shape of the container.

Question 15

The shapes of which states of matter depend on the container they are in?

Accepted Answer

liquids

Accepted Answer

gases

Answer

solid

Question 16

The shape of which state of matter depends on the bottom of the container it is in?

Accepted Answer

liquids

Answer

solid

Answer

gases

Question 17

Scientists use the phrase "kinetic energy" and "temperature" when describing:

Accepted Answer

The motion of particles and the energy involved.

Answer

The motion of particles and the movement involved.

Answer

The stillness of particles and the Celsius scale.

Answer

The pressure and weather outside in any given area.

Question 18

Which of these describes the direction of movement of gas particles?

Accepted Answer

Gas particles move in random directions until they fill a container.

Answer

Gas particles move in an upward direction until they fill a container.

Answer

Gas particles are pulled in a downward direction until they fill a container.

Answer

Gas particles are pulled together and expand in an outward direction until they fill a container.
