Which of the following is NOT part of the particle theory of matter?

• Particles are not moving.

• Matter is made of small particles.

• All particles in pure substances are the same

• There are spaces between particles; the amount of space varies depending on the state of matter

• The particles in a substance are attracted to one another

Identify where to find metals, non-metals, and metalloids on the periodic table.

• Metals are on the right, non-metals on the left, metalloids in the middle.

• Metals are on the left, non-metals on the right, metalloids in between.

• Metals are in the middle, non-metals on the right, metalloids on the left.

• Metals are on the right, non-metals in the middle, metalloids on the left.

• An element can be broken down into simpler substances, while a compound cannot.

• An element is always a solid, while a compound is always a liquid.

How can a decomposition reaction help you determine whether a pure substance is an element or a compound?

• It shows if the substance can be broken down into simpler substances.

• It changes the color of the substance.

• It makes the substance dissolve in water.

• It increases the temperature of the substance.
