Properties of Matter Review

Mr J is trying different wires to see which will help a light bulb light up the brightest. He tries a fiber optic wires, aluminum and copper wire. What property of matter is Mr J most likely testing?

• Solubility

• Color

• conductivity

• texture.

What would happen to the particles in a liquid if the water is heated?

• They would decrease in distance.

• They would increase in speed.

• They would evaporate.

• The particles would freeze.

In a gas the particles are...

• At a short distance and moving at medium speeds.

• Tightly pressed and not moving.

• Tightly pressed and moving at a slow speed.

• Spread apart and moving at a fast speed.

In a solid the particles are!

• Tightly pressed yet still moving.

• Tightly pressed but not moving.

• At a short distance and moving at medium speeds.

• Spread apart and moving at fast speeds.

Ms Wilson is observing properties of matter. Which two can she observe using her 5 senses?

• Gas

• Color

• Texture

• Molecule

Which statement is a measurement of what is shown in the picture above?

• The test tubes have different colors.

• All of the samples are liquids.

• The test tubes contain melted ice pops.

• The red sample is filled up 1/3 of the total milliliters.

Mr Fernandez wants to draw models to show the state of matter of each sample. He will do this by drawing how the particles are arranged in each sample. Can he use only the models to identify which sample is in the first test tube compared to the rest?

• No because the samples are both liquids.

• No, because the samples are both made of the same elements.

• Yes, because the samples have different volumes.

• Yes, because the samples are different colors.

The model above shows carbon dioxide. The oxygen is shown in red meanwhile the carbon is shown in grey.

The colors of the foam balls are meant to show that the balls represent different_______

• Compounds

• Molecules

• Elements

What can we do to create a different type of matter?

• Use foam balls to recreate the model.

• Add an extra black element.

• Use larger display balls!

• Use a shorter stick to connect the elements!
