States of Matter Quiz

What determines the states of matter?

• Their color and size

• Their shape and volume

• Their weight and density

• Their temperature and pressure

Which state of matter has a definite shape and definite volume?

• Liquids

• Gases

• Plasma

• Solids

How are the atoms in liquids described?

• Completely random organization

• Close but slightly more random organization

• Orderly/organized

• Not close and highly organized

What is the characteristic of the volume of gases?

• Definite volume

• Changeable volume

• Fixed volume

• Non-existent volume

According to the document, most matter exists in which state?

• Solid

• Liquid

• Gas

• Plasma

What is kinetic energy?

• Energy an object has due to its position

• Energy an object has due to its motion

• Energy an object has due to its temperature

• Energy an object has due to its mass

According to the Kinetic Theory, how do particles of matter behave?

• All particles of matter are in constant motion

• All particles of matter are stationary

• All particles of matter have no attraction forces

• All particles of matter are in random motion only in gases

What do particles of matter have that affects their interactions?

• Repulsion forces only

• Attraction forces only

• Both attraction and repulsion forces

• No forces at all

How is the movement of particles in gases compared to those in other phases of matter?

• Particles in gases have limited movement

• Particles in gases move slower than in other phases

• Particles in gases have high kinetic energy and move faster

• Particles in gases do not collide with each other

What happens when atoms bump into each other according to the Kinetic Theory?

• They stop moving

• They merge into a single atom

• They transfer some kinetic energy

• They destroy each other
