States and Properties of Matter Quiz

What are the three states of matter?

• liquid, air, and vapor

• solid, liquid, and gas

• solid, gas, and plasma

• hot, cold, and warm

Explain the difference between a solid, a liquid, and a gas.

• Color and texture

• Shape and size

• Particle arrangement

• Temperature and pressure

What are the properties of solids?

• Definite shape and volume, strong intermolecular forces, closely packed particles

• Definite shape but no volume, moderate intermolecular forces, randomly arranged particles

• No shape or volume, weak intermolecular forces, loosely packed particles

• Definite volume but no shape, strong intramolecular forces, closely packed molecules

How do the particles in a solid move?

• Vibrate in fixed positions

• Move freely around the space

• Rotate around a fixed point

• Travel in a straight line at high speed

What are the properties of liquids?

• Liquids have definite volume, but no definite shape. They can flow and take the shape of their container.

• Liquids cannot flow and take the shape of their container

• Liquids have no volume and no shape

• Liquids have definite volume and shape

How do the particles in a liquid move?

• In a random and constant motion

• In a straight line

• In a circular pattern

• In a stationary position

What are the properties of gases?

• Solid, transparency, high density

• Fluidity, low density, inability to diffuse

• Expansion, compressibility, fluidity, low density, and the ability to diffuse

• Expansion, rigidity, high density

How do the particles in a gas move?

• In random and constant motion

• In a circular pattern

• They do not move

• In a straight line only

What is melting?

• The process of a liquid turning into a solid due to an increase in temperature.

• The process of a solid turning into a liquid due to an increase in temperature.

• The process of a gas turning into a solid due to an increase in temperature.

• The process of a liquid turning into a gas due to a decrease in temperature.

What is condensation?

• The process by which a liquid turns into a solid

• The process by which a solid turns into a gas

• The process by which a gas turns into a liquid

• The process by which a liquid turns into a gas
