Properties of Matter Quiz

What is the difference between mass and weight?

• Mass is a measure of the force of gravity pulling on an object, while weight is the amount of matter.

• Mass can be separated into components using physical means, whereas weight cannot.

• Mass is the amount of matter in an object, but weight is a measure of the force of gravity pulling on an object.

• Weight is a property that can be measured or observed without matter changing into a different substance, but mass cannot.

Which of the following is a definition of a substance?

• A property that can be measured or observed with the senses.

• Matter that has a definite and uniform composition and cannot be separated into components using physical means.

• A property of matter that helps identify and classify substances.

• Matter that changes into a different substance when measured or observed.

Which of the following is an example of a physical property of matter?

• Flammability

• Reactivity

• Density

• Chemical composition

Defines chemical property of matter?

• A property that can be measured or observed without matter changing into a different substance.

• Properties of matter that are measured or observed when matter undergoes change to become an entirely different substance.

• A property that helps identify and classify substances without changing the substance.

• A property that has a definite and uniform composition.

Which of the following is a characteristic property of matter as per the notes?

• A property that changes when matter is observed.

• A property that can be separated into components using physical means.

• A chemical or physical property that helps identify and classify substances.

• A property that is not used for observation.

Based on the notes, how do physical and chemical properties of matter differ?

• They differ in the way they can be separated into components.

• They differ in their ability to change matter into a different substance.

• They differ in the way they are used for observation.

• They differ in the way they are observed.

What is an atom?

• The smallest particle of an element that still has the element's properties.

• A combination of two or more substances in any proportion.

• A rigid, lattice-like framework of many atoms bonded together.

• A unique substance that forms when two or more elements combine chemically.

Which of the following best describes a compound?

• A pure substance that cannot be separated into any other substances.

• A homogeneous mixture with tiny particles.

• A unique substance that forms when two or more elements combine chemically.

• A rigid, lattice-like framework of many atoms bonded together.

What is the difference between an element and a compound?

• An element is a pure substance that cannot be separated into any other substances, while a compound consists of two or more atoms joined together.

• An element is a combination of two or more substances, while a compound is a pure substance.

• An element is a homogeneous mixture, while a compound is a heterogeneous mixture.

• An element is a rigid, lattice-like framework, while a compound is a unique substance formed by chemical combination.

What is a mixture?

• A unique substance that forms when two or more elements combine chemically.

• A combination of two or more substances in any proportion. They are not combined chemically.

• The smallest particle of a compound that still has the compound's properties.

• A rigid, lattice-like framework of many atoms bonded together.
