MJU2: States of Matter Lesson 1 Quiz

Why does solid water(ice) float when placed in liquid water?

• Ice is less dense than liquid water.

• Ice is more dense than liquid water.

• Ice has less mass than the water in which it

  is floating.

• Ice has less volume than the water in which

  it is floating.

Which statement explains why a rock does

not sink in a lake that is frozen over?

• Particles in a solid are fixed in place.

• Particles are much harder in a solid than in

  a liquid.

• Particles are much closer together in a solid

  than in a liquid.

• Particles in a solid are moving too fast for

  anything to penetrate them.

If I am creating models to show atoms of

solid bromine, liquid bromine, and gaseous

bromine, how should her three models

differ?

• The size of the atoms should vary

  depending on the state.

• The mass of the atoms should vary

  depending on the state.

• The motion of the atoms should vary

  depending on the state.

• The identity of the atoms should vary

  depending on the state.

Why does milk flow out of the glass and spread out into a thin puddle rather than staying in the glass or spreading out more on the floor?

• The particles can break apart, but cannot move.

• The particles can slide past each other, but attractions hold them close together.

• The particles cannot move, but they can grow in size.
