Particle Model of Matter Quiz

What are the four important aspects of matter described by the particle model?

• Particles, forces, movement, and spaces between particles

• Forces, colors, shapes, and movements

• Density, volume, mass, and temperature

• Particles size, color, shape, and smell

What is diffusion?

• The process of changing the state of matter from liquid to gas

• The movement of particles from a low concentration to a high concentration

• The random movement of liquid or gas particles from a high concentration to a low concentration to spread evenly

• The process of changing the state of matter from solid to liquid

What factors affect the rate at which particles diffuse?

• Color and shape of the particles

• Temperature, mass, state of the particles, and size of spaces between particles

• Density and volume of the particles

• Forces and movements of the particles

What does density measure?

• The temperature of a substance

• The color of a material

• The ratio of mass to volume

• The speed of particles

Why can gases be compressed but solids cannot?

• Gases have large spaces between particles and weak forces

• Gases have strong forces holding the particles together

• Solids have weak forces between the particles

• Solids have small spaces between particles and strong forces

What happens to the pressure of a gas when it is heated?

• The pressure remains the same

• The pressure becomes zero

• The pressure increases

• The pressure decreases

What is the behavior of particles in a solid state?

• Particles are not in a regular arrangement but still close together

• Particles move very fast in different directions

• Particles vibrate in one place

• Particles are not arranged in a particular order

What is the relationship between mass and volume in density?

• Density = mass - volume

• Density = mass + volume

• Density = mass x volume

• Density = mass / volume

Why do liquids and gases diffuse faster than solids?

• Because liquids and gases have stronger forces between particles

• Because liquids and gases have smaller spaces between particles

• Because liquids and gases have weaker forces between particles

• Because liquids and gases have larger spaces between particles

What is the particle model of matter useful for?

• Describing matter in only the solid state

• Describing matter in all three states

• Describing matter in only the gas state

• Describing matter in only the liquid state
