Topic 1 Test Review: Properties of Matter

Marisol wants to model the arrangement of particles that make up an ice cube and the particles that make up liquid water. She dings the diagrams below in a library book.

What is the best way for her to use these diagrams to model the particles of an ice cube and water?

• Use diagram A to model the ice cube and diagram B to model the water.

• Use diagram A to model the ice cube and diagram C to model the water.

• Use diagram B to model the ice cube and diagram A to model the water.

• Use diagram B to model the ice cube and diagram C to model the water.

These cylinders are tools used to measure substances. What property of the liquids do they measure?

• color

• mass

• reflectivity

• volume

Alan has two samples of matter as shown in the picture.

Which statement is a measurement of what is shown in the picture?

• Sample X is a different color than sample Y.

• Sample X and sample Y are liquids.

• Sample X fills more of the container than sample Y.

• Sample Y has a volume of 50 milliliters.

Alan has two samples of matter as shown in the picture.

Alan plans to draw models to show the state of matter of each sample. He will do this by drawing how the particles are arranged in each sample.

Is it possible to use only the models to identify which sample is X and which is Y?

• No, because the samples are both made of the same elements.

• No, because the samples are both liquids.

• Yes, because the samples are different colors.

Kate is observing properties of matter. Which three properties can she observe using her senses?

• hardness

• color

• mass

• texture

Sam wants to draw a model to show that the particles of matter are too small to be seen. Which would best help him to show this concept?

• Sam should model the temperature of a sugar mixture.

• Sam should model the mass of a sugar cube.

• Sam should model the height, width, and length of a block of ice.

• Sam should model the elements that make up water.
